Finding happiness in simple things

As I find myself looking to books for answers to questions I will never have answers to...I also find something more, something unexpected. Doors are opening in my mind I didn't even know were there. Experiences that I craved for so long, they finally came. In spades. Nothing in my life is perfect, never will be, but it is certainly different. Unique and amazing people I have always known throughout my life, but this is different, I have a level of comfort I have not had in a longtime. Great minds and all I hear...but truly great people.

One of my favorites and closest is just a rock for me, she will do something of the silliest and craziest stuff right along with me. Sister is not close enough to appreciate the kind of bond and friendship formed there.


Going to a Grateful Dead cover show...




Toasting 4th of July...



Going to Chicago and seeing amazing things...and of course being silly.



Laughing so hard everyday, remembering that life can be fun too.


Getting down at our lil' whole in the wall bar...where everyone kinda knows are names!


Her supporting my love of golf...even though I am terrible!



Even trying herself...



Someone to share creme horns with ;)




Fist pumping and face humping...laughing our asses off the whole time!



Finding no other reason in the world just to find happiness in something beautiful...and a reason to smile. Fields of sunflowers a couple times.





There has been a change in my life, and not always for the better. It has not always been the easiest to let go of a life that didn't make me truly happy for a longtime. Making the best of the little things has changed me, a positive person I try to be, and sometimes fail horribly, but having someone to laugh right along side me is the best gift I have had in a very longtime. Sunflowers, tears, laughing when everything is terrible that we just enjoy the little things, but we laugh so hard we choke and it comes out ours noses... is priceless.
