...that would be perfect for late-night beach adventures, or a bonfire, or just lounging outdoors, staring at the beautiful sky. I'm sitting out on the patio. The filter must be on; I can hear the water pouring from the hot tub into the pool. It's calming and comforting in a way.
It's nights like this, when there is joy in simply being, that I think life truly can be simple. I sit here, and I realize that I'm not striving for anything, I'm not fighting for anything, and I'm not working to be better, but I am happy.
This is, I think, to live well: To enjoy life simply for what it is: an opportunity. To love friends and family and the people you pass on the street, and to love God. To slow down and rejoice in the things that truly matter, the things that are often tossed aside or neglected in the hustle of life.
In a few minutes I will close my computer and crawl into bed, early by nearly anyone's standards. I'm looking forward to a full, luxurious night of sleep. This moment, of quiet reflection, has been a wonderful end to a great day.
