Life is huge. It's a crazy thing to try and breakdown, but when you really get into it, you realize it's the simple things that make everyday more interesting. Driving down the road, sun rays reflect off the windshield and music blares threw the speakers. Coming to the stop light, I glance around and see a little girl on a swing. She seems like she couldn't be happier at that moment, as if the swing is her escape from the bigger picture. Where do we lose that mentality? It's funny that I can't even remember a time of change from that to the complications that everyday life has in store for us. When did we go from having a stand in the front yard selling single glasses of lemonade to this grown up stage of life where you can't survive without money? I never really though about how much we should appreciate that innocence because before we know it, that frame of mind gets ripped away from us and suddenly we are flooded with temptations and thoughts that are unheard of as a child, and we usually aren't even prepared for such a rapid change of pace. We never know when life will throw the next curveball, and whether we will strike out or hit it out of the park. Regardless, simple things are one step closer to home. Appreciate each step. Live it out. Love.
