On Good Cheer

The older I get the more I understand how important laughter and cheer are to life.

This life is not an easy one and a lot more frequently than I originally thought would happen, it has you wanting to throw in the towel on just about everything. 

But then there a people who have you laughing so hard you’re smiling for hours after spending time with them.

There are feelings that hit out of nowhere, perhaps brought on by a photo or a painting or a video, that remind you that actually, there is good out in this world to find. And you should dance around your room and get excited for it!

There are messages in shows and movies that remind us, firstly, that one of the best ways to live life is by doing so alongside our frens and, second, that there is always hope.

There are books and poems and blogs and other forms of writing that whisper, from one soul to another, I’ve been there too, don’t sweat it, friend. You are not alone :)

There is bouncy, dreamy music to play on car rides home when you're coming back from doing something brave.

There are moments of weightlessness when love and joy and hope have made you giddy because God let you know He saw you! In your pain and hardship, He let you know He. Saw. You.

This life is not an easy one, so hold on, and don’t forget to surround yourself with joy and cheer and people who feel like sunshine. ☀️
And also know that you can be the sunshine in someone else’s life too. <3
