I love this photo. I’m really, truly happy in this pic. And really laughing – the kind that rolls through your whole body all the way to your toes.
I remember having so much fun on this day. Wes, the kids and I met friends at UI for homecoming in October 2008. This is the day that Tyler decided that Idaho was his school too. The Vandals won! And I was with some of my favorite friends in the whole entire world.
I wish I could laugh like this everyday. So free to just lay my head back and laugh – soaking in the moment and loving every bit of it. SO WHY CAN’T I? I look at this picture and want to be that happy person. WHERE DID I GO? I used to have so much fun. I was fearless. The crazier the idea, the better. Now I live in a box married to an Outlook calendar and a never ending to-do list.
Now don’t get me wrong. My life is blessed with so many great things. And I’m so thankful. It’s just that I’ve been struggling with this whole notion of happiness and what makes me happy. Really, truly happy – all the way down to my toes. I want that.
