A Life that Sizzles and Pops..
“I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. And I
don't want to get to the end, or to tomorrow, even, and realize that my
life is a collection of meetings and pop cans and errands and receipts
and dirty dishes. I want to eat cold tangerines and sing out loud in the
car with the windows open and wear pink shoes and stay up all night
laughing and paint my walls the exact color of the sky right now. I want
to sleep hard on clean white sheets and throw parties and eat ripe
tomatoes and read books so good they make me jump up and down, and I
want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to
someone who loves the gift.”

I'm with you! I LOVE (and wear) pink shoes, stay up late at night laughing, love ripe tomatoes, clean white sheets, and want God to belly laugh at how delighted I am just to be alive!
