An hour ago he carried her to bed and tucked her in with a sweet, slow kiss. He wasn't tired enough to sleep yet so he sat on the porch with a cider and listened to the night sounds. The air that had been so hot all day was starting to cool and the chirping of birds had given way to the sounds of insects. He took a long pull from the bottle and leaned back in the chair, thinking of how good life was.......and how good it could become......

Sometimes its all too easy to dwell on the negative. I like to sit and reflect on the good things. Everyday we are surrounded by things that bring us down but what of the things that make us happy....that bring that smile to our faces no matter what?

I smile at children laughingwith innocent joy, at birds flying and singing, at the sounds of music and I smile at the thoughts of my red tressed Angel. It's amazing how little the world can get to you if you love someone completely and are in turn, loved by them completely.

Sure there are rough days.....everyone has them but......that Love....that complete and unfettered Love.....that will get you through anything.

Its good to sit back and think about the good things.....
