Its funny, that the smallest thing can make a day better. For me, I know that all is good in the world for 30 mins when A Charlie Brown Christmas is on. When we watch that, the world around me can be silent, but it speaks volumes for the simple things in life. That warm comforting "dorkiness" that it has. The peace it grants the viewer. The idea that we can get back to the easy happy times.
Or, a beautiful, soft, sunny day. Music playing.Taking time to be...well, just BE. The smell of fresh cut grass. Kids laughing while racing on their bikes. The sounds of a neighborhood.
The best time is after dinner, the sun is not quite setting,smells of BBQ, friends wave as they walk by. Sitting on the front porch. Finding that radio station thats playing music that you normally dont listen to. Like ABBA. And the crazy thing, you know all the words. And it takes you by surprise. You realize after a moment that your singing out loud. And you dont care. You laugh as cars slow down and just stare. And then they laugh and you know they get it! The break from being...what ever the world labels you. For that moment, you get back to the core of what or who you are. And, we all know that the next day can and will be different. But you have this wonderful memory of one perfect Saturday night. No one cares that you're not dressed up, no one to impress, to look good for. Your hair looks crazy and no makeup. Sweatpants and silly rainbow socks. And you hope that God grants you another day like this soon. Maybe share it with friends. Maybe over beer and Cheeseburgers. I thank God silently for today. And I hope this type of day is granted to others that I know and have in my life. I am grateful for all of them. I am grateful for all that I have.
And I am grateful for the courage to sing ABBA at the top of my lungs and not care!!!
Smile & be Dorky!!!
