Happy Easter

I hope that today you took a few minutes to remember being young, and what it used to feel like to wake up on Easter morning to chocolate and plastic grass and dyed eggs hidden all over the house, how exciting that use to be.

I hope you took time to tell the people that you care about that you love them.

I hope you felt happy enough and went slowly enough to notice the spring, to see the way the flowers are pushing out of the trees slowly but steadily.

I hope you didn't let yourself believe you're too old to dance in the rain.

I hope you watched your child laugh, or someone else's child laugh, and really appreciated that for the miracle it is.

I hope that you did something you were afraid of and are stronger for it.

I hope that you didn't give up.

I hope that you found a lot of reasons to get out of bed in the morning. I hope that there were still reasons when you climbed into bed tonight to believe in tomorrow.

I hope you gave someone some part of yourself today, even someone you didn't know.

I hope that you believe in yourself.

I hope you laughed until you cried, or until milk came out of your nose, or until you couldn't stay standing, and I hope it made you feel young.

I hope that for once, even an instant, you felt innocent again.

I hope that you love yourself.

I hope you took a minute to realize how beautiful and amazing life is, even the smallest leaf growing out of the smallest tree.

I hope you know that even though we'ver never met, and evne though I really need to go to bed now, I love you. I truly do.

I hope this is your every day.
