A Drifter Among Us

I woke up early today with a list of things I needed to do. I spent a little time reading this morning, like I do most mornings, and then proceeded to get myself ready. I had this thought that if I didn't slow things down and really process what was happening I was likely to miss out on the little things, the important things, the things that make memories. I think this happens to us all.

I went back home to help my dad move some belongings out of my grandma's house before it's sold. It was eerie being in the empty house that held so many memories. It was a little sad seeing my father say his last goodbye's to the house he grew up in and was a part of. The house was part of him. He told me a few stories about things he would do as a child: jump from the top of the steps, sneak out of his bedroom window, etc.

I concluded that the things that seem insignificant today, could be something worth cherishing later. Slow down. Breathe easy. Be free. Live. Love. Laugh.

Too many days end up being forgotten. Make a memory today.
