Simplicity

Fall has got to be one of the best times of the year. The warm sun shines its face during the day and a cool (almost too cool!... HA! get it?!) okay, lame.. but cool breeze gives you just enough chill to snuggle deeper into your hoodie till your body temperature is contently toasty. Mmmm, I love that toasty feeling. It's got to be one of the best feelings ever. But among toasty feelings, I love...

- being the passenger of a moving vehicle, aircraft, boat.. anything that isnt stationary
- showers, warm ones in the winter and cool ones in the summer
- being submerged in large bodies of water and realizing just how small you really are
- laughing till you feel like your teeth are dry or your lips are chapped, and hearing people- just ordinary people laugh. it always makes me laugh too!
- late night adventures
- hair, specifically my own (RIP)
- rings, and nail polish that makes you taste the flavor of the color you're wearing in your saliva
- grapefruit... anything... creams, body wash, the fruit, the color of it, the way the name lingers
- food.. oh Lord... steak, wings, ribs, fruit (blue-black-rass-berries), cake, cookies (soft ones), tea, asparagus, green beans, butter, fresh bread, stroopwaffles, cheese (mmm, gouda), tiger shrimp, banana choc-chip pancakes, cream of any sort, beer (dont judge me), pizza lunchables... this could go on forever.... seriously... bah food is so good!!
- sleeves that are too long
- the sound, the feel, the power, the mercy, the endless passion of rain drops from mother sky
- flowers of any shape, color, and form
- every single string on my guitar
- snails
- reaching down and digging your hand into the snow behind you as you feel the rush of racing down a hill on your snowboard

... wow this list could go on and on. But it just goes to show how simple the true pleasures of life can be. The best things in life... are rarely ever things. Really, I'm so blessed. I see in vivid color with both eyes, I breath and inhale the air of earth with 2 lungs, I listen to the sound of heartbeats with 2 functioning ears that require no assistance. I walk the journey, and run the mile with 2 legs that have yet to fail me... I FEEL with a heart, that is alive. I have a family that loves me, I have friends who support me, and I have the love of Christ that dwells in me. What more could I possibly want?

The world simply has nothing to offer me that I don't already have.
Suckaaaaaaaaaaaaaa


Love,
