I am one who gets easily mired in the negativity of others, and so I fight constantly to stop myself from becoming jaded. Jillian and I took a hike recently, and at the end, we were treated to one of those moments of breathtaking beauty that are so rare but so easily achievable if only you know where to look. It is so easy to ignore good things when there is so much bad stuff in the world, but foolish hope and optimism have always been the cornerstone of human development.
…It’s hard to stay mad, when there’s so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I’m seeing it all at once, and it’s too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that’s about to burst… And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can’t feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life
