Take my hand - we'll make it, I swear

There's nothing like a big trip to the great outdoors to make me realize just how many small things can really make me happy...

The way the cool breeze whisks my hair around my face.
The sound of seven voices laughing together.
Getting temporarily lost in the world where dragons are bronze and wolverines have spikes.
Doodling.
A warm hand on my back while I fall asleep.
Realizing that the rain was not a curse, but a blessing.
Watching birds eat sweetbread, then share with their young.
Letting our imaginations run wild!
That one, glowing green meteor that only we saw.
Whispered promises by the waterside that I'd never trade for anything.
Recapping events under a tree, waiting for a tow truck.

And so much more, but most of all:

Making the best of everything that happens because of who I'm lucky enough to be in the company of.
