I can’t stop

smiling as you look at me on this wonderful sunday.

You said the color shirt I wore today brought out my eyes, and as I fix my hair, you snap a picture and capture my joy in one click.

And every day when we are apart, you always say that picture brings joy and comfort.

Knowing I’m just a picture and phone call away always fills you up when I’m out.

Knowing I matter so much to you makes even the most challenging days worth it.

To feel

good when the wind is blowing through my hair after such a sweltering day

We needed that storm to cool everything down.

And here I stand, lost in a lovely breezy with no care.

As the stress and pain melt right off of me and I let the good wind carry me to a higher mood, I smile as I feel like myself again.

No more worrying about the unknown as I take in the moments I have to live right now.

As I realize, none of the obstacles in my life can stop me from achieving what I will succeed in.

And at this moment, I realized my life would never be the same and that this change was the right thing for me.

Even if the support I have isn’t all, I thought I would have.

I know I will be just fine in the end.
