I believe in miracles.
There are days when I feel the presence of God.
I’ve never met a non friendly flower or a dog I didn’t like.
I can’t live without my friends. They’ve shrunk the world for me more than I’d imagine.
I read the back of every packaged food product and think that Diet Soda’s are a lie.
I believe that Life is too short – so I type faster, run harder and love deeper.
My favorite color is the color of moonlight and if I wore a sports jersey- I’d be a 4
I think Daisies are the happiest flowers.
There are days when I am so sad – I am all out of tears.
There are also times when I am scared to be as happy as I feel.
Luckily for me – the good days outnumber the bad days.
I grade my life on a curve and I believe that I am extremely fortunate.
I believe that with people I love, as the years have passed, not only have they changed, what has altered more is their ways of expressing their love. And so I try to be patient. It usually works.
I worry about the state of affairs in the world. I try to use less plastic, I always tell people when I like something about them, I say “Thank you” at every chance I get, I try to be as honest as I can, I do not smoke, I make resolutions that I stick to and I try to make strangers laugh . And I believe this has an impact on the world. No matter how minuscule. And I try to believe that it matters.
I love to talk to my plants, mostly because they just listen. I also believe that sharing silence is one of the most intense experiences I can have with someone. And it usually signifies that start of something special and long lasting.
The internet has changed my life but I miss reading letters and waiting for the postman.
I usually order the same thing when I go back to a restaurant and that’s when I know I like eating there. And lighting plays a very important role in deciding this.
I believe that having close friends is something that involves a lot of hard work and I find that if I go the distance - I am usually met halfway. It has always been worth it.
I believe that I have made a lot of mistakes. I am trying to not make some of them twice.
When I am alone, holding a cup of hot tea, I pretend that it’s a hug from a close friend and smile… and it always makes me feel better.
I believe that Reading is one of my special blessings and I try to do it as often as I can.
I believe that things happen for a reason. And knowing is better than not knowing every single time. And trying is better than wondering. And failing is better than not trying at all.
I have a code when it comes to relationships and I find it hard to breathe when that code gets violated. But I also believe that every close friendship that has stood the test of time, has been one that has defied and redefined the code.
I love to smile and laugh out loud and I love it when I do that when no ones watching. And If that happens at least once a week, then I believe that I have a good reason to shut up and not complain about anything.
I believe in Love. I believe in Magic. And I believe in the ability of those around me to excel at both.
These are strange and wonderful days.I find myself laughing for no reason, feeling hopeful about the future and at peace with the past.
And above all, I believe that if I were to count my blessings and start saying thank you’s to everyone who makes it possible for me to be the person I am and have the life that I do, I would run out of space and time.
Thank God I have enough.
