Ode to Life

Oh, Life...I love, you, I really do.

Just when I think I have no direction, and that I am not doing enough in this world, you remind me of the little things that are not so little...how important it is to be kind to others because it might change his or her life for the better.

Just when I think I have you all figured out, you take me by surprise and teach me a lesson or two.

Thank you for grounding me when my ego gets way out of control, and for reminding me of the qualities I may forget that make me essentially who I am when I start to doubt myself.

And thank you for my friends, my beautiful, kind, loving, supportive friends. No matter how many wonderful people I have in my life, you always see to it that I rekindle my old friends, and that I am always making new ones. Even when I fail to see it, you always bring people into my life who will change it for the better. I am so glad that when I forget who I am there are always people there to remind me and love me. I forgot that it was possible! I get so cynical sometimes.

I only hope that I can eventually live up to this wonderful person that so many people take me to be. Well, I know I am awesome, but there is room for improvement. If people are looking up to me I better know what I'm doing!

I know I am not perfect, and I know something tragic could happen to me at any second that might make me temporarily forget how amazing you are, Life, but since I am in the moment and right now I am feeling it, I thought I would recognize just how amazing you are. You rock, Life. I am glad to just be here for the experience. What crazy things will Life come up with next??!
