“ i love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. ‘Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death.
Leonardo da Vinci

today

as he kissed me goodbye this morning and headed off for his day away - we joked that today we’re getting a taste of real life. and ever since then i’ve been thinking about how lucky i am that life is what you make it + that i love the life we’re making together.

i want to keep making the choices that have brought us to this point together. i know that they are choices that will most likely mean we’ll never be really rich - and i know there will always be things we want but won’t ever have - and i know that we’ll pass up lots of great opportunities - and i know that we’ll make choices that don’t make sense to anyone else. but in making them i just have this feeling that we’ll enjoy the moments we’re in more. we’ll embrace those little, tiny things that make life beautiful but are so easy to miss. we’ll live our dreams. we’ll stay in love. we’ll have less stress. we’ll maybe know less people but have deeper friendships. we’ll have more riches that last beyond this life. if we get to be 85…we’ll look back with fewer regrets.

and as i write this i know those are the choices we want to make - but that they won’t be easy. they will be the result of long talks - of reminding each other what’s important - of compromising - of growing - of keeping our human nature in check.

simple little things

leftover pizza for lunch - an empty dishwasher because my love unloaded it last night - taking a few extra minutes after a meeting to stop for a latte.

some days, it doesn’t take much :)
