Thank you all for your thoughts on my last post.
We have been so busy at work I barely have time to think, which right now is a good thing.
I smile...every day
sometimes through tears, but mostly through laughter
I smile...
when the sun is shining, but also when the rain is pelting my windows
I smile...
at everyone, young, old, cranky, chipper,
sometimes they smile back, sometimes they don't, sometimes they think I am crazy...it's all okay
I smile...
when I walk out of my house in the morning and back in at night
I smile...
with that first cup of coffee, with the sandwich my hubby made for me cause I was running late and again when I sit down to eat dinner with him at night.
I smile...
when I am procrastinating finishing homework that's due by midnight and when I turn it in a day early
I smile..
when I feel the love that I am surrounded by every single day.
I smile...
even though it would be easier to cry,
even though it would be easier to scream
even though it would be easier to pull the covers up over my head
I smile...
because I have a choice and today that choice was to get up, get out of bed and know that no matter what the day threw at me, no matter what happened, that I had to embrace it
I had to live it today...every day...
I smile..
because there is today...
because I can call my mom
because I can wish my niece a happy birthday
because I am here
I am present
I am accounted for
I am alive
I smile...
because even though my heart is still hurting...and it will for a very long time...I smile because I am blessed by this universe,
I smile...
because no one knows when tomorrow won't come...
