Do you know that feeling when you bite into a slice of freshly baked bread? Or when you frantically gulp down water to soothe your parched throat at 2 AM? Have you ever watched a sunset, so gorgeous, but so fleeting and been okay with letting go, because you know there will be one more?
Have you ever not made plans to have a perfect day, but had one anyway? Have you ever felt so full of contentment that you think you might just burst?
These days are few and the rarity somehow makes them so much more special, tiding you over until the next one comes along. The memories make your heart strong enough to take on the not so good times, the bad mornings and the truly terrible nights.
If you’re reading this, think of those moments of quiet joy and the people who make it possible, even if it is just you and remind yourself to take things one step at a time.
If you’re reading this and you’ve had a day that you think could have been better – breathe. Really breathe. Take a deep breath and imagine yourself sinking into the ground. Do it thrice.
Your perfect day is just around the corner. You’re going to be just fine.
