Looking Forward

I've been learning how to be hopeful lately. I had sort of forgotten. Life is filled with bumps and bruises, triumphs, empty hours, celebrations. I made the mistake of letting the bumps and bruises and empty hours get the best of me. No more ... I look forward with hopeful expectation.

I will take joy in the small things. I'll count my blessings, put the stamp of enthusiasm on my work, and take another slice of pizza. I'll take pictures, and write poems. I'll try to floss, and wear that damned bite guard the dentist always asks about. I will send my nephews crayons because they are brilliant; how can a young genius go without extra crayons?

Time for bed. Welcome to the beginning of something cool. Thanks for reading, and see you tomorrow.
