"Today I am thankful for the people and places that lighten the spirit.....practical jokes at work, sharing little jokes over the world wide web. enjoying dinner or a movie with friends or family, a shared laugh with a new friend or board games with cousins. I am thankful for watching a play or a musical, especially if you know someone in the cast; playing and bonding with precious pets, talking to a child, a walk on the beach or just being by the water, heart to heart talks with friends, time to play with whatever leaves you feeling satisfied or happy"
Isn't that what it's all about? Lightnening each other's spirit? The way is long and hard. We need to help each other over the rough spots. We need to create joy around us to give each other strength to keep moving forward. I think those are the real times after all....the times when we relax, let down our guard for a moment...when we shed the pretenses and anxieties and just sit back and allow ourselves to be who we are, and to enjoy the simple joys of being alive.... with those we love.
"Sometimes,' said Pooh, 'the smallest things take up the most room in your heart."
~ A. A. Milne
