a new mantra.

it always sounds so cliche
"it goes by so fast"
"seize the day"
"blink and it will be over"
 
 
i am going to chose to not think that way,
it seems so negative, so passe.
 
 
instead i chose to make gratitude and joy
the new normal around here.
not because it will all disappear if i don't. 
but because it will be so OBVIOUS that there is no other way to live your life.
 
 
the mood around this house will be one of celebration,
just because.
just because you saw a squirrel jump from the fence to the roof,
just because you remembered to do something you always forget.
just because you forgive.
just because you love.
 
 
we will not judge
we will not pretend to know everything
we will not even attempt to be perfect.
because to God, we already are.
 
 
we will live hard. 
we will relish in the every day and search for the good.
 
 
we are going to hug, kiss, high five and play together.
we will open each day with the good on our priority list.  only the good.
because the rest just causes clutter.
 
 
we will wait in anticipation for the next moment and when it sucks, we will know that another one is coming shortly.
 
 
we are gonna rock this.
