the smell right before a storm breaks open.
watching someone reach into the garbage to remove the newspaper someone else couldn't be bothered to recycle.
blowing on the belly of a silly four-year-old boy.
realizing I'm ready to start dating again.
sore muscles after lifting weights.
the first bloom of spring flowers.
watching an eight-year-old boy entertain himself for the hour train ride with four unsharpened pencils.
being able to talk to old friends without missing a beat.
knowing that you love someone(s) enough to feel a tug of sadness after hanging up the phone or saying goodbye.
finding a way to crack my back in the exact spot I want cracked.
having a future to start imagining again.
figuring out ways to make the present more worthwhile.
knowing how blessed I am.
