Kiss the Stars too

It’s a cloudy day.

I find that I’ve been gazing at the sky for longer periods of time when I choose to look up. When I say “when I choose”, I am talking about those times when ignorance takes over your soul due to a few bumps on the road so you CHOOSE to purposely turn away from things that you know deep down inside might make you feel lively. That is simply unacceptable, especially when you exist in a galaxy that has everlasting loveliness or beauty that hasn’t even been unearthed. Lately, I’ve felt guilty for not acknowledging all the things that make life so dreamy. Think about it… wherever you are right now, you’re surrounded by at least a handful of things that make you smile. They can be simple because simplicity makes you feel a higher sense of gratefulness. It makes you realize that if something so small can make you smile, imagine what something that means the world to you could do? If a soft smile can make you feel warm just imagine what a hug from your mom or a loved one could do. I don’t know about you, but my mom gives the sweetest hugs. I’m pondering about how important is it to be grateful, and I’m sure you’ve heard it before but it is something that we lose grip of sometimes when nothing feels right.

There are days when my thoughts are jumbled and I feel home sick in my own home.

There are days when I don’t think or feel at all, and it makes me feel cold.

If I just remembered to be grateful, I’m sure those days wouldn’t be days… those days would just be tiny moments amidst extraordinary days. 24 hours is plenty of time to have a change of heart.. it’s plenty of time to stare at the sky for a little longer to paint the colors of the sunrise or to say hi to the moon. I’ll bet you could say at least 5 I love you’s and 5 thank you’s, before closing your eyes at night. It doesn’t take 24 hours to do something kind for someone.. it only takes seconds. Kiss someone or something that makes you feel love. I say something because you can kiss the stars goodnight—they need love too. Do things that fuel you or remind you how much you love yourself. Love yourself.

Be grateful while dancing your line, and your line will be full of endless reasons to keep you smiling.

Keep your head in the clouds,

Jesse
