A bit of hope from midnight time.

It's 12:07am on the West Coast right now.
My nose is runny, I've got to get up early, but nonetheless I felt compelled to write the following simple message to you all. (It's a short piece from that poem book I'm working on, the one I mentioned in my previous entry.)

Love your life. 
Every last bit of it...
the good, the bad, the rain, the kissing, the movies, the books, the pretty lights, the runny noses, and water hoses.
Shopping malls, and the magic of pen on paper.
How you can make words appear as if from nowhere.
How you can find love and how love can find you.
Nights alone and afternoons with friends.
The busiest, most annoying, lackluster day of your life and the fact that you made it through in one piece.
Being able to laugh that day off when a worse one comes your way.
Sight, sound, hope, and the feeling of your feet on the ground.
Love it all,
because you only get one.




I hope you all wake up to a fucking glorious Friday morning, pass on a smile or two, you'd be suprised how much it could brighten someone else's day.

- Chad

[: Well you sure passed on a smile.
I had a fucking horrible day yesterday, but now I know I should laugh it off because I've had way worst days.
I'll get through it, and you only made it easier.
Boy, you have a talent, and that is making people smile.
&I'm jealous because I'd want that talent any day over the none that I posess.
Wishing, Mary.
