Why Life Is Worth Living March 29, 2012 easter egg hunting looking up and seeing the sky opening your eyes underwater burning candles drinking water when you’re thirsty watching the snow fall seeing fireworks explode laying in bed dipping your toes into a river intertwining your fingers with another’s feeling the sun on your skin painting what you imagine singing along to songs having bonfires sitting by a fireplace riding horses in the fall chocolate milk watching lightning split the sky the way you feel after workouts fishing on a calm day knowing you are worth something swimming in the summer watching the sun rise backrubs that ‘new baby smell’ smiling proving to others that you can do anything having family dinners falling hopelessly in love skipping rocks helping others who need you laying with the one you love writing because you want to sipping hot cocoa in the winter feeling strong capturing time through photographs holding a new baby breathing after it rains trampolines playing sports expressing yourself building things listening to the ‘peepers’ chirp learning every day creating new life making dinner for fun planting a garden seeing old friends staying up late reading feeling accomplished suddenly understanding a math problem experimenting falling asleep without any time between when you climb in and sleeping seeing your family picking daisies getting sand between your toes devoting yourself to something you <3 saving lives hearing the melody of a piano sharpening a pencil because you’ve worn it down creating something beautiful realizing life is better than in the movies running making shapes with sparklers curling up in a blanket movie nights cutting the grass observing the stars thanksgiving dinners ice cream on a hot summer day popsicles
