I love certain things about life.<\/p>\n

There are so dang many things that seem just too good to be true.\u00a0 Way beyond.<\/p>\n

These big shiny, sparkly, crazy-good gifts of life.<\/p>\n

Take Fruit.\u00a0 I am so grateful for fruit.\u00a0 Seriously.\u00a0 Last night, I cut into a Honeydew Melon that was just like a gift from the Honeydew Goddess of GoodGolly, or something. It was SO delicious. Same thing with a recent Peach.\u00a0 I just don\u2019t know what to say sometimes.<\/p>\n

Have you ever heard a song that makes you feel so grand?\u00a0 The melody, or words, or both, give you the \u201cShiver-Me-Timbers\u201d up and down your spine?\u00a0 Yeah.\u00a0 Big gift-o-rama.<\/p>\n

Tonight, the sunset was absolutely spectacular.\u00a0 The colors were so perfectly put together.\u00a0 The purples, and oranges, and yellows. Majestic.\u00a0 Awe-inspiring.\u00a0 I stood there, and stared\u2026 with the awe just spouting right out of me.<\/p>\n

And then you look out across the meadow, and see two amazingly beautiful Does, approaching with two their small Fawns.\u00a0 Yes, a family with two Moms, of all things.\u00a0\u00a0 And you sit quietly and watch them enjoy the corn and apples you had put out earlier in the day.\u00a0 And it makes you cry because they are so exquisite and so very innocent.<\/p>\n

More gifts came bounding our way this evening.\u00a0\u00a0 We spent time with our dear friends.\u00a0 (As well as our Deer Friends).\u00a0 But these dear friends are human.\u00a0 So kind, and smart, and funny, and comfortable.\u00a0 The kind of friends who insist you order pizza… to make everything simpler for the evening.\u00a0 (And oh, how I LOVE pizza) \u00a0 And you realize once more, that life is filled with the good.<\/p>\n

In each day, I am given a big-plenty of this goodness.\u00a0\u00a0 I can only hope that I am doing enough in this Universe …. to give as much back …. or forward, whichever way it goes.\u00a0 I want to give more than I get.\u00a0 I think if we all do more good, than we take\u2026 it helps the bigger scheme of goodness in life.\u00a0\u00a0 Way beyond peaches and deer.<\/p>\n

Way beyond.<\/p>\n

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.\u00a0 —\u00a0 Marcus Aurelius<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
