Red Wine and a Rooftop

I had underestimated how much value is in a glass of wine and a rooftop talk. I haven't really had the time to sit and talk about things unrelated to school. I got some of that back tonight.

I remembered the value of having a roof that I can walk out onto. I remembered the value of having someone to drink some wine with, someone who doesn't want to climb down the side wall after having more than one glass. I remembered the value in spending time with someone I work with, sort of outside of work.

It's amazing how simple things mean so much to us. Watching a sunrise (for some), sitting with a glass of wine and getting the chance to talk (or not talk), playing in the park. These are the things we underestimate in importance. We think they are things we can throw off, or put off and forget that we once felt them to be important. We get so caught up in our busy schedules that we miss the flowers the grow by the side of the road, the laughter that we don't have, the rooftops we don't sit on.

We should take more time to look at the simple things that we don't take the time for. The rooftops, the wine, the flowers and the sunrises. It's worth it.
