So here's what I'm thinking . . . the day the sun stops shining, is the day that I'll give up. I've spent too much time regretting who I am. I've shut too many people out. And I've wasted too much time staring at the world and feeling like I'm nothing because I wanted so desperately to be a part of the really extraordinary magical things out there that you only seemingly see from a distance. But really, it was right in front of me all the time. I'm so stupid sometimes:)
It's in the tree outside my window, and the laughter of my friends. It's in the eyes of the people I love, and it's in the warm embrace of my best friend and sweetheart:) It's in those wittingly sarcastic comments my dad makes, and in that look in my mom's eyes she gets when she knows something good is gonna happen. It's in those groggy good-morning mumblings my brothers offer me with their half-asleep smiles. It's in everything . . . but you have to stop and be quiet for a few seconds, and I mean REALLY be quiet, to realize. Looking is one thing, but then really seeing them is another. Trust me . . .
