You open your eyes to a slither of sunlight peeking through the curtains in your bedroom,

while some never wake from their sleep.

You walk outside to feel the warmth of the sun kiss your skin,

while some are permanently stuck in a cold world.

You feel the hot sand between your toes and open your ears to the gentle sound of the waves crashing against the shore,

while some may never get that chance again.

You are tickled by the cool breeze the afternoon always promises,

while some won't get to experience that anymore.

You take a deep breath. You look around and soak in your surroundings.  

Tomorrow is never promised, but you are here today.

For that very reason, life is awesome.
