Today was an absolutely gorgeous day!

It was 72 degrees outside, sunny, and slightly breezy. So I went on a walk and just grooved on it all for awhile. Then we had pizza with Grandma Allie (that cheezy-bites Pizza Hut pizza is great). But more importantly, it was just a beautiful day to be outside. I even went out and curled up in the hammock for awhile, staring at the sky.

And it occurred to me--if I never have an expensive house, if I never have an expensive SUV, if I never have twelve kids in the yard, if I never have a million dollars... I will be happy.

I will be happy to curl up under a blanket and stare up at the endless sky; I will be happy to touch the earth, feel the dirt in between my fingers, and smile at the stars.

I don't want a lot of money; I don't want an expensive house or a gas-guzzling car. I don't wanna eat expensive food and drink thousand-dollar liquor.

I'll be happy just to be, and nothing more. To make people happy and to be happy myself--to touch the world and feel it, carefully and gently.
