On The Soft Side Of Things

Today was both a good and sad day. A high school batch mate recently passed away. We weren't close and at one point even got into a misunderstanding. But it's always sad when someone goes, especially unexpectedly. I think of all the people she left behind...and my heart grieves with them. 

We often forget how every second counts. The "Now" is the only reality we have, we have to live it and embrace it. You have to tell the people that you love just how much you love them. You have to find a reason to smile, everyday! Even for the simplest things. 

 Laugh hard. Give forgiveness. Forgive yourself. Eat chocolates. Draw, paint, sing, dance. Be thankful. Hug your sister. Tickle your brother. Wear bright pink lips. Let go. Set free. Anything and everything. Don't let the moment pass you by. 

It was a good day because I saw some of my high school friends, almost burnt my hair with the blowdryer, spent some time with my boyfriend and his family. Ok, so maybe the burning my hair thing is not so great. I panicked as strands of hair just fell from my head. Nonetheless, I like this day. How was yours?

PS. The horseshoe ring was a gift of my dad to my mom. It has their names and the date 2-14-77 engraved on it. It's older than me! Now that's a treasure.
