It doesn't matter how old I am, if I have a reason to get out of bed, life is good. Remember what it was like to get up on Christmas morning, or your birthday, or any really special day? That is the feeling I shoot for!
It can be as unique as an email where someone writes, "How have I missed thee?!?" or as sweet as, "Oh how I cherish your sweet words." It can be funny like my little dog licking my nose then wagging his tail when I growl at him. It can be the sun shining in through the tree outside, or a phone call from one of my children.
I need reasons to get out of bed and my life has been supplying them for quite some time now.
I used to think people who had reasons like these were just lucky and that is surely part of it, but there is more to it than just luck. I need to cultivate those things that please me and make me smile. They are truly priceless.
Never taking anything for granted is a wondrous way to live. Not being afraid to let the world know how I feel can be embarrassing, but mostly it reflects back to me in heart stopping echoes.
You'd be amazed at the things that can happen to an ordinary life.
