I get to

Earlier today I found myself smiling for no reason at all and for so many reasons there are to many to count. I realized that i get to...

I get to make my sister smile. I get to breathe. I get to walk and see and smell. I get to taste some of the most amazing food. I get to feel what its like to love with all of my heart. I get to eat a cupcake. I get to listen to music so unbelievably moving it brings me to tears. I ge to laugh at small things. I get to watch a squirrel run up a tree. I get to have my heart broken. I get to learn from my mistakes. I get to have second chances. I get to play on the playground. I get to have freinds that will listen. I get to sleep in a bed. I get to be beautiful. I get to use a computer every day. I get to write exactly what I'm feeling. I get to drink starbucks. I get to shop. I get to want things that aren't needed. I get to eat my mom's mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving. I get to cry when I want to. I get to change my mind. I get to dress up. i get to drink a glass of wine. I get to have good conversations. I get to work hard for the things I want. I get to have dreams and goals. I get to eat a peanut butter and honey sandwhich everyday if i want to. I get to be with my family everyday. I get to take hot showers. I get to swim in the ocean. I get to be mad. I get to be sorry. I get to be loved. I get to pick flowers. i get to drink tea. I get to sing in the car. I get to smile when I'm happy. I get to light candles. I get to smell christmas trees. I get to be anything i want to be whenever i want to be it...

I get to just because. Think about all the carzy wonderful things you get to do just simply because you get to. I bet it will make you smile too.

Thanks, Erin. Your comments today have helped me begin to recover from my stupidity of deleting all my files. No pictures, no music. Later, I get to begin to replace with the help of family. I love you. Gramma
