1.
Youre reminded that the person you were before no longer needs to be a label on your chest.
Youre reminded that new beginnings are possible, and no matter what happened, today is a new day.
Hand-holding.So much can be conveyed in an embrace, a hug, a kiss.
Morning air.There is a distinct smell, a distinct taste to morning air.
The dew is still rising from the grass.
The world is just starting to hum to life, not yet polluted by noise and sound and exhaust.
The morning air is light, is fresh.
It is a new beginning.
An invitation to begin again, to become, to celebratebeingright here, right now.
Eye contact.Shared across a crowded room.
Snuck in a fleeting moment.
Experienced in an intimate place.
Held for a minute too long.
The power of eye contact is unmatched.
Coffee brewed first thing in the morning.
Tea when your throat is scratchy.
A mug of something that heats your chest.
There is something cozy about a warm drink and a good book, or good company.
There is something human about each sip, each smile, each heartbeatinner and outer peace.
First bites.Of whatever youve been craving, melting in all its flavor and spice on your tongue.
Forgiveness.And its mysterious power to set us free.
Answered, andunanswered prayers.Because they are always what we needed, even if we didnt even ask.
Because they lead us away from places we shouldnt be, and into where we should.
Because they remind us that we are loved and cared for, and never fighting our battles alone.
Because our God is ever-present.
Because life, even when we cannot make sense of it, somehow always falls according to plan.
Unconscious smiles.Shared between strangers, or friends.
Sometimes the joy just fills you so fast, you cant control the way your mouth moves.
And without hesitation, happiness spreads across your lips.
