We Forget

Tonight I was reading back through old blog posts that I wrote, but never actually posted. I came upon one that I had entitled "Happiness". The post began as so:

"Ever wonder why you are here? What is your purpose?" 

Ever since the car accident I have dealt more readily with this question of purpose. I often cry out to God, asking him why he can't just send down an angel to tell me plain and clear what I am to do with my time here on earth. But God doesn't work like that. Life is a journey. It is a path that twists from side to side, backtracks, and continues on forward.

Search.
Seek to find.

Think of the little things, the simple things you love in life. When looking back through this old post, "Happiness", I read of my snow day adventure with good friends.

"Cold snow, a smack in the face, snow built up in my ear. Wonder. Pure happiness as the snowflakes fell, dancing downward. Laughter". 

So often we get overwhelmed by the big questions in life that we forget the little. We forget the days of building snow forts. We forget the intensity of snowfall fights. We forget to watch the snowflakes fall, drifting down one by one. We get so wrapped up in the crazy big questions. We forget. We forget what pure happiness is.
