Alive

"Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world truly needs is people who have come alive."

- Howard Thurman

I have to give Josh the credit for this post seeing as how he is the one who asked the question. It was a simple question directed to the whole community, but it made me think. What makes you feel alive? I did have to think hard about this, but in the end my answers were quite simple. I love changes in weather... When spring becomes summer, summer becomes fall, leaves become snow, but especially when clouds become rain. You can always tell when it's coming. The sky gets dark so that only a little sun can peek through. Wind blows and most of all you can smell it. Ther is no possible way to describe that smell in all it's glory, but it's there. It's clean and fresh, like a new beginning. And when I stand outside to smell the air at those times, I feel alive. Something inside me feels different, and I absolutely love it.
