The Perfect Day

Echo Park Lake

 A perfect day is one that is effortless. It begins with having no expectations and limitless possibilities for adventure. It is a day where there is no pressure for time and no stress about what to do, or where to eat, or what to say. Sometimes you don’t have to say anything and you can sit in silence and be completely content with a smile and a stare. A perfect day is spending time with someone who genuinely wants to be there with you, in the moment. It is a day you never want to forget that you don’t want to end. 

Days like this are a breath of fresh air for me. I am so appreciative of them and want to stay in the moment and take it all in; all the conversation, the sounds around me, the smells of fresh baked scones and taste of a cold fresh strawberry dipped in sweet cream. I want to hold on to the feeling of the sun warming my shoulders as I watch the ducks swim in a circle and engage in thought provoking conversation. I could honestly be talking about anything, it is the moment that I want to preserve. 

I woke up with a smile on my face and realized that I am coming out of a fog. I feel more certain about who I am and what I want. I feel sure of my capabilities and am learning how to love myself more and more each day. I feel optimistic about the future and look forward to the journey and the possibility of new beginnings.

My heart is full and happy today. I am more sure of myself than I have ever been and know that if I stay true to myself and work hard to be the best version of myself that I can be, I will be loved and will be happy. I am scared but embrace the idea of change and taking a chance. 

Yesterday was the perfect day and for that I am very thankful.
