What brings me immense joy is having good people in life that lift you up and share similar values. These are the people you choose to have in your life as an adult--you aren't bound by school cliques or work or bloodlines. You choose to be with them to share sunny days and water balloon fights, crack jokes over good food and share excitement in watching a solar eclipse (then finding the Bonnie Tyler song, Total Eclipse of the Heart).
Fun, simple moments like this in a backyard are what I love. This fills me up--kind of like a water balloon about to burst.

It's amusing to me when people look for excitement or feel their day to day lives are boring. My mom would say you choose to be happy, or not--and you really do. Or as Betty Draper once said, 'Only boring people are bored'. People are always looking for something to happen or looking for more and more. Sometimes all you need to do is look in your own backyard.
Life is what you make it--fill it up and watch it burst.
