Let it all go, whatever it is
- Dierks Bentley



It's funny how sometimes we get so absorbed in what we're doing that we have to almost slap ourselves or get a legit massage to calm down.  "Snap out of it!" I sometimes tell myself.  I'll be thinking so intently about how such and such is going to be so hard, or how I seriously do not have enough money to get through the next month.  Or I have this horrible guilt for something stupid like leaving my clean, dry laundry on my bed for three days instead of folding it right when I brought it from the dryer.  Stupid stuff!  
Sometimes it's nice just to have moments.  Either by myself or with people, where I am sincerely happy.  Nothing else matters and I am not thinking about anything but how content I am.  And, even if someone asked me what I was thinking in those moments, I might say "nothing!".  I'm simply happy.  Those moments when I say to my friends, "Hey, let's take a picture!" 
I'll catch myself looking back at those happy pictures on my phone.  I think it's just to somehow relive those happy, carefree moments.  Those moments that I somehow knew should be remembered with a simple touch of my iPhone (no camera sound, my phone was probably on silent).  
I love life and I don't want to forget to let stress go and embrace happiness.   
Today, someone special texted me and said "We're all lucky to be breathing and walking." Yes.  We are.  We need to breathe and smile and keep letting things go - they don't mean a darn thing if they don't make us smile.
