What makes you smile?


I read a quote once, something about not writing for the sake of writing, but writing for the sake of telling a story. So what happens when you feel like writing, but you can't think of any one particular story? I guess the nice part about a blog is that if nobody reads it or if nobody cares, it's not the end of the world--just words on a page online. 

I guess if I could write about anything right now it would just be that I wish life were less busy. I think pretty much everyone I know is busier than I am, but I can't help but hate the feeling that I'm spending so much time maintaining my life (or something that resembles that) that I feel like I'm not taking the time to do enough things that are a part of the "living" of life. 

I have to say that I am very blessed and I have a wonderful life, but sometimes I wish life were a little bit less about what is going on on the outside of us and more about what's going on on the inside. Maybe it's as simple as taking the time to write more for myself, and spend more time on my blog, but whether it's that or something else, I think maybe we should indulge ourselves a little more in what makes us smile, what makes us laugh, what inspires us, what motivates us to keep going every day. Just a thought...or five. ;)
