Living...

What is the best feeling in the world?
Living.
I mean really living.
You know what I'm talking about, when you can feel every part of you wake up from whatever slumber it's in and take a deep breath and just GO.

It's that awe inspiring feeling that you get every now and then.
I think I need it every day.
The tricky thing here is that if you find something that makes you feel alive like that, sometimes you can fall into a pattern of doing it and it can lose its edge in a sense. It can become dull.
No good.

It comes from all sorts of things.
Seeing the adoration in your dogs eyes.
Making it through a super intense workout. (Yeah, that one doesn't happen often for me either.)
Catching up with your girlfriends.
Feeling like you're part of your longboard, instead of fighting with it.
That song that stirs something inside of you.
Having a really good cry.
Having a really good laugh.
Creating something, whether it's art or writing, or any other means.
Having your soccer team win their match.
Having a deep REAL conversation with someone.
Fighting for a cause that you're passionate about.
Using brand new chap stick.
Looking at your freshly painted nail polish as you open a door or a cupboard.
Swinging on the swings at night.
Seeing a shooting star.
Dancing.
Road trips. Long or short.
Taking care of plants.
Service, in any way, shape or form.
Learning something new and understanding it.
Writing a letter to someone you miss.

The list goes on and on and on...

Get out there and do something that makes you feel ALIVE!!
