Its the little things in life that mean the most to me. The little things people remember or just a simple smile from a stranger when I walk by can make my day turn around in a second. Today, I have been finding so much more joy in the littlest things and I have no idea why. I woke up an hour earlier this morning because I forgot to turn my alarm clock off, and usually when I would be mad I just laid in bed and felt extremely content. I woke up this morning and I felt like it was a new day, I just felt so different and rejuvenated. It was like a sense of happiness snuck into my soul during the night and said “I’m taking over today whether you want me to or not.” There is a lot going on and so much work that I need to catch up on, but right now they seem so small to me and there isn’t an ounce of stress weighted on my chest. I have been feeling really good today and I can’t help but smile and I have no idea why. For the first time in a long time I enjoyed sitting in class and listening to my teachers talk about a bunch of stuff that didn’t really make sense to me. I feel at ease and I just want to capture this moment because I don’t feel like it comes that often. I feel so happy and energized that it overflowed a little bit and I couldn’t help but just talk to everyone, especially people I didn’t know. It’s the kind of feeling you can get high off of and you just breathe it in and expect it to end as soon as you take another breath, but for me it’s been lingering around all day. It’s like instead of a rain cloud, it feels like a blue sky hovering over me. I just can’t help but laugh right now because I can’t remember the last time I’ve felt this happy – and noting has happened to me for me to feel happy, at all…. There isn’t anything going on to make me feel this way, I just do.

Today has already been amazing and to top it off I did something I’ve always wanted to do.

 I wrote a blog about always wanted to catch a leaf and today I was walking home and one just happened to fall into my hands. It was right before I was surrounded by the gates that cover the bridge and I saw it falling but it seemed too far in front of me, so I just put out my hands and with the help of the wind it fell right into my palms. I don’t really know why today is going by so well, but I don’t want to end. I wish I could capture this moment like a camera captures a picture, but life doesn’t work like that. We are given moments like this and as easily as we take hold of them they can be taken away even easier. As for right now, I am holding onto it and hopefully whenever it goes away, because I know it will, I can read back and remember that life isn’t that bad and that the little things in life are what I should be holding onto.
