Things I still smile about

There are many things about law enforcement work that can make you hard and jaded about the rest of the world. However there are happy things that occur, so little and slight you can forget them. Many of my happy times I had forgotten or closed them off in my brain. At least until this moment. I just woke up, my alarm clock says 2:24 in the a.m and here is list of happy memories. My brain is yelling at me to write them down.

I'm not going to explain them. They are moments in time and they made me happy and whenever I look back at this post or remember them again, they will still make me happy.

100 Grand and Payday candy bars. Brown eyes. Maya Angelou. Eating microwave popcorn in the wee hours of the morning. Eating chips and salsa at 6:30 a.m. before going to bed. Lascivious. All night car rides. 400 and Alabama. 1400 and Louisiana. Cruising the cemeteries in the middle of the night. Microphone clicks. Subway sandwiches. 1821066969.

These are just a few of the things I will cherish forever.

Now I can go back to sleep. Good Night Everyone

Harry, you're so deep these days .. maybe you always have been, I just didn't know you then. I love the sensitivity with which you write!
