I spent the entire day enjoying beautiful things... 

An extra couple of hours of sleep after a rough night.

Fluffy pancakes for breakfast.

The cool breeze through the front door at my parent's house.

The sound of ocean waves against the breeze rustling through the trees.

My mom's tired but gentle eyes.

My pop’s laughter from his joke.

Sound of Charly singing her own words to a song in the backseat.

A glimmer of river water through rushing trees.

Seeing Julia after a day away from her.

Unconditional care in my mother-in-law's eyes.

Clear blue sky on a hot day.

Two dogs with endless excitement to see me after a week away.

A home.

A meal.

A free breath.

A life worth living.
