Life is made up of amazing little moments.

Like when your awesomely amazing friend is doing something awesomely amazing, and she waves at you, and you can wave back, and everyone knows that you know her, or you make a snark laugh, and/or wink at you. Or when you meet an Italian with laughing blue eyes, even when he's irritated. Or even a dude from Northern Michigan, who happens to have a Southern accent.

Like when your in a busful of LOUD teenagers, after hiking about 5 miles, and you're actually fantasizing about jumping out of the window of a moving car, and your friend is laughing(in your ear) about a guy who went into shock after his scalp got ripped off, and you call her out, because you can't handle the stupidity anymore.

Like when you're looking through the lens of a microscope-discussing the carcass of a dead insect with aforesaid snark(who, you find out, is a Christian-indescribable awesomeness), or walking through a forest, or looking at a rattlesnake(a Massasauga-the only poisonous one in Michigan, BTW), and you think that maybe, possibly, you wouldn't rather be anywhere else.

Life is an amazing little moment.
