We were out as a family for Luke's dinner last night. I was watching this little boy - maybe a year old gleefully laughing with a french fry in his hand. I asked the parents if it was his first time eating a french fry and they said no. I was so inspired by this little boy that it got me thinking. I should, we should, be THAT happy to just be alive each day. I know too many friends and strangers that face each day literally having to fight just to stay here another day. Whether it be from disease, starvation, or circumstance.
We should be absolutely excited to have another day we didn't have to fight for. A gift we didn't even have to ask for. That is the goal for me today, for 2012, and for the rest of my life.
