i. am. happy.

And sometimes it's as simple as that.  

The other day, I was thinking, why am I back here?

Okay, I missed writing.  I missed expressing myself.

To all of you.  Sometimes, I just want to say, I'm in love.

Because ... I really am.  

I'm in love with the clouds. 

The sound of my nephew's voice.

The white chocolate creamer.

But it may sound a little odd if I just call or text someone

about those things I'm so in love with. 

And I'm not much of a Facebook "status update" person.

So, I'm back here.

But today, I came across this ...

and I realized, I couldn't have said it better.

So, here it goes:

"it hit me how good it is to be alive.

alive!  and I wanted to tell you.  do you

understand what I'm saying?  i'm saying

life is a thing of beauty.  a thing of beauty

and a joy forever."

- the history of love by nicole krauss

And that is why I'm back.

To tell you that life is beautiful.

And you can be happy.  Too.
