So "American"

I stood in the kitchen and took in a deep breath.

This is it, I thought. This is what peace, love, hope, dreams, stability... this is what it feels like.

Life is so good and so "American". Do you feel it? If you don't, I pray you will. This peace inside yourself. This feeling of being so full and happy just where you are.

Life isn't perfect. There's always something to be done or call to return... but breathing it all in. This is it. This my little piece of heaven on earth. The people, the noise, the smells, the love I feel. This is it.

I know it won't always feel like this and that I'll have days of anxiousness, but right now... I'm going to bask in my little morsel of peace.
