1. My Credo
I believe in the splendor of pixie dust,
And the joy that swirls around the cocoa mug on Christmas Eve.
I believe in the giggles and honest nature of children,
And the happiness found within a tire swing.
I believe that everyone should think positively about anything,
And be willing to sacrifice everything to hold onto that optimism.
I believe in baby pink tutus, gold encrusted tiaras,
And the power hidden inside a pair of toe shoes.
I believe in the healing power of Band-Aids
And boo-boos that are sealed with a kiss.
I believe that every Sunday should begin with a syrup-drenched waffle,
And end hidden in the bubbles of a porcelain bathtub.
I believe in the immediate gratification of Skittles, Starbursts, and Snickers bars.
I believe that silliness is a crucial ingredient to an excellent life.
I believe in love,
And all of the hurt and miscommunication that comes with it.
I believe that family comes first.
I believe that reading can take you anywhere.
I believe,
most importantly,
that we should make every day worth living.
