Words

I hope to keep this one short and sweet...if that's even possible with my writing haha

Last week I was hanging out for an evening with some great friends. We got to do a bunch of stuff together and it was super fun. Midnight rolled around faster than expected and everyone was getting tired. My best friend was there and she was going to leave around this time.

I realize that at this point this is incredible boring hah!...try to stick it out a tad bit longer, I feel my writing isn't the best today, I'm at a lack for good words.

Anyways, as always she gave me a quick hug and said goodbye but what surprised me was when she stepped back and stood there looking at me instead of actually leaving. Then she ran up flung her arms around me and said "You're an amazing friend."

(Now, she doesn't know that I'm writing this about her, and she probably won't for a long time.)

The thing that is most important about what she did is that it was something totally unexpected, and something that really made me smile. I believe that as hard as it can be sometimes we should all do this more often.

I'm not quite sure why, but we tend to hold back our thoughts and words that stir up in our heads and hearts and we let the moment pass without ever saying or doing anything. But we should always say these things even if we are afraid of what someone will think, or say, or if we'll screw up and be completely embarrassed.

Because I find that those are the things that we cherish forever. You never know how long something you say to someone or something you do for them will stay with them in their hearts. And how every time they think of it they light up with happiness.

So I challenge you, along with myself, to go be a spark of joy for someone, because even the simplest thing could be one that they hold onto forever in memory. 

Love,
   Forever & Always,
