Finding magic...

Tiny little decisions shape our lives.  Small slivers of a moment act as a secret doorway through which entire lives unfold.  Days that lead to months, and eventually years.  That first day of school, that one Halloween, that amazing Valentine's Day.  Days that shift perspectives within seconds.  Those mundane one-liners that stick in our minds as the words that form who we are to become: "you wanna see my trapper keeper?", "somebody likes you", "get out".  They act like some magical spell that once uttered blows you into a new sphere of reality, the steering wheel that turns you down a new route, complete with new scenery and new characters.

Today I have been thinking about all of the amazing people in my life.  The ones who together have sculpted my outlook on life and all that is carried within it.  Sometimes I wish I could speak to the me that I was before and tell her about all the wonderful people she has waiting to be a part of her life.  I get so excited for her.  And then I wonder what will the future me wish she could say to the me that I am now?  What other magical words and days and people are just around the corner?   

This is what I feel like lately.  With my two best friends missing in action, sometimes I feel like I am too.
