love it

I love days like these...

When your covers feel so perfect in the morning... getting up is hard and the morning is so sleepy... but the sun greets the day early, making winter seem so distant, even though it's close. I love it. I love the giggles of children and observing how similar to us they are. They want to be younger and older all at the same time. Even a newborn cries at the loss of a warm haven as it transitions to a new stage in his or her life... I hate watching 12 year olds hurt because middle school is hard. I hate watching high schoolers try to fit in by compromising things they promised they'd never let go of. But it is bittersweet, because they grow. They grow into amazing people with amazing hearts. They grow out of awkwardness and into gratefulness for who they are and what they've been through.

Life is so wonderful. I love that I am loved... I have a peace in my heart where anxiousness used to be. It's ... incredible. Amazing... this "adult" thing isn't half bad :)
