Best friends are awesome. They listen to you go on and on about a new someone in your life. They drive impossible distances to come and see you. They help with whatever they can. They make your kid laugh that deep, contagious laugh. And they stay up late watching ridiculous tv shows with you.

Children are awesome. They snuggle up to you to remind you of how much love there is in life and how very blessed life is. They laugh in a way that drains stress out of your day in two seconds. They smell good, even when they smell bad. And they make all the struggle worth it.

I am feeling blessed in life right about now.
