Nothing big and remarkable happened except for the fact that it was Friday, I was able to talk to some of my favorite people on the earth, the lighting was perfect for the photos I took in my mind, I made brownies, I cleaned, and listened to the the entirety of the Into the Woods soundtrack, and I smiled. I laughed, and I lived.
In a movie I saw someone pointed out the difference between living and simply not dying. That's an important distinction. Living requires noticing. Living is when you notice the way the sunlight catches on the frost in the morning and makes the asphalt look like stars. Living is dancing in the kitchen with your family to whatever music happens to be playing at the time. It's bedtime and reading your favorite childhood stories to your little sister. Living is when you smile at nothing and laugh because you're happy. Living is sharing with friends. Living is a beautiful thing.
And you, darlin, are good at living. Xoxo!!
