Happy Friday!

I think I should make Friday's story time days ;)

I just came from being with you. My hands were buried in my pockets for warmth. I was walking in the street, there was this woman carry an infant in her arms, walking past me on the sidewalk. Despite the freezing temp., his smile was as big as the world. She was kissing his cheek repeatedly, you know, trying to get him to laugh. When we were passing, we smiled at each other.

Seconds later, I heard a gasp. I turned to look at the source of the noise and there were my neighbors. Their heads were titled up at the sky, I even noticed that the woman who held the toddler even stopped, despite the cold.

Confused, I looked up too. The sky reminded me of you. It was beautiful. The sun was setting, a purple and pink color. It looked like a painting. There were flocks upon flocks of birds flying. I stopped and stood there too, we all watched in awe, until the last bird flew over the trees. I didn't even realize I was smiling. 

It's the simple things in life.
