reflecting.

"I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all, I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing."
-Agatha Christie

There are small moments when you remember - there is a purpose to all this madness. There is a reason for the tears that come, the heartache you feel, the questions you may never find answers to. There are small moments when you understand that life is worth living. What you have, is more than enough. And you find it again... in being appreciated, in reconnecting with old friends, with a smile, with a hug, with the reassurance of family and the warmth of home filled with love. You find it in the simple moments - flashback to high school as you run along the streets of your hometown with your best friend, as you simply drive and see the beauty, as you realize all you have to be thankful for. There are small moments when you realize life is more beautiful than you could ever describe. Every day - it's all around you. Sometimes, we just need reminders to recognize it.

I think I'm at a point where I could use a few more of those reminders right now. But it is so true.

When all starts falling apart, if you just listen, God will point out all the things that are holding together, and all the things worth hoping for good to come out of.
