The Finer Things in Life

I've realized that all my posts seem to be quite depressing and focus on the things in life that have got me down. So just to mix things up a bit and break the mould I thought I'd focus on the Finer Things in Life for a change.

What do I appreciate in this life I call my own? Well it's actually very small and simple things. For example on my wall in front of me is a little picture of a funny baby. It was given to me one birthday by a good friend named Alex Johnson. If I feel down or sad I look at George, as he's affectionately named,  and he puts a smile on my face. On the same wall I've got my two guitars hanging up, I find them a great way of  releasing my emotions.

I enjoy being able to sit with people in a quiet place and just talk for hours. Likewise late night phone calls, although I very much prefer being face to face each has a special quality to it. I keep in my drawer a letter that a girl named Libby sent to me and a little sign that she enclosed with it saying "No Beans Allowed!"

It's these little things that keep me going and get me out of bed in the morning. That paired with the drive to better both my own and other peoples lives a little bit each day. It stands to reason that if I do this each day and I live long enough there will come a point when nothing can be made better. I believe this point is heaven. Maybe I'll see you there someday :).
