I wanted another optimist to share my joy and love for life alongside me. It seemed like my friends and my family were letting me down.
I complained to my husband. I complained to my mom.
After the complaints died down, Lucy ran behind me as I idly checked my Facebook account. She threw open the front door, mid-sprint, and let it slam behind her. The sun was shining as bright as a ray of gold outside.
I opened the door and called out to my Lucy, "What are you doing out there, girl?"
"I'm chasing the sparkles, Mom!"
And she ran into the sunshine, the bricks of our sidewalk glimmering around her like true magic melting into my heart.
