to love deeply.
to laugh without hesitation.
to play without holding anything back.
to greet others with joy and excitement.
to take life in moment by moment.
to not take any person for granted.
to not take any day for granted.
to not be bitter.
to recognize the beautiful things more often than the terrible.
to celebrate everyday.
to have magic, wonder, excitement, hope each day.
What an interesting day today has been. I mourned the loss of a friend, celebrated the life of my grandmother on her birthday (cheers to you Grams, if you're reading!), started an internship at an awesome garden with the awesome-est kids, felt the connection of a vast community of friends and companions as we mourned together.
It's one of those days when your heart sits a little deeper down in your body, closer to your stomach than before.
When your vision is kind of blurry all day and you make other people a little bit more aware of their humanity every time the floodgates open.
When you say, "this f#$%ing sucks" about a millions times.
When your stomach hurts for no physical reason.
When you want to be better the next day than you were the day before.
When you talk a little slower.
When you are more comfortable with silence.
When you appreciate the people you love more than the day before.
When you express your love more freely.
