The Way I See It
When I feel like I'm in a rut, I remember it's the little things in life that are important,

like riding a bike with a friend or eating ice cream with my baby niece.
-Michelle Kwan, as printed on a Starbucks coffee cup


There was a time in my life when I couldn't wait for things to end, or for something to put me out of my misery.

Now, I wish things would never end.

I walked down the street today, reveling in the spring air, and I realized, suddenly, that I was happy.

Happiness comes when you stop looking.
