Simplicity

It is a simple life that makes my heart smile. I have  needed to have simple in the last few weeks of work and school. My simple moments… It is an email from a 10 year that sneaks on his mother’s email to find my address and phone number. Yet he does not ask questions of what has happened. He just wants to be around the person who makes him feel special. Yet, he is the one who gives love and acceptance to me. Simplicity comes from a 6 year old who holds on to me wanting me to stay in bed and giggle as she falls asleep. However, I know good and well she will never go to sleep with me in her bed. It is a teenager who tends to plop down on me just because she wants to give me a hard time. This is her way of saying she loves having me around. Its the best dog in the world with her floppy easter bunny as she gently nibbles away. It is the moments we can have together when no one is around. It is a look which makes me tingle all over. It is the moments you let me see your soul and kiss the tears away. It is the moment when a student gets excited to see a familar face in the mall. It is the love, understanding and acception from my cookville friends of my new life.  It is my father’s ability to listen to my words and all the feelings I have felt. It is my mother who has been understanding of my struggles but encourages me to take the higher road. It is knowing it is all going to be ok. I see peace in my future. Simple moments…moments I will cherish. They might last only a second but I will savor it with all I have.

“The aspects of things that are most important for us are hidden because of their simplicity and familiarity” Ludwig Wittegenstein
