That moment
Every once in awhile you are lucky enough to get "a moment". I suppose they are different for everyone and they change over time. Maybe it's a big game you won in the final minutes and were hailed a hero, maybe it's sharing a special subset w a loved one , could be anything really. It's about that moment that sometimes is special enough that you even recognize it while it's happening. I don't mean the obvious ones either. Of course nothing beats that moment u just knew you found who would b your spouse, or the moments your children were born. But those unexpected times where u think "oh yeah, this". I am lucky - I have a number of these I lug out of memory when I need a little escape. I am thinking of one now. Looking down from a high deck in s summer night at a yard full of slightly tanned and slightly sunburned kids, exhausted from a perfect summer lake day and rounding it off w an outdoor movie at night. Blankets strewn. Girls dancing to the films score. Laughter. Crickets. Moon. Stars. Perfect. I know how frustrating it can be when your work life isn't right. Especially when trying to find that right new match. But suggest when it gets really tough, u lug out one of your moments. I bet u have some that you wouldn't trade for anything. And know that this too will pass, and you will find some new moments along the way. And as we go through the tough times just remember , they kinda help us appreciate just how awesome the good times can really be. Well, Not sure where those thoughts came from today; But leaves me wondering: what's your moment u lug out when u need the escaoe the most?
I haven’t married or have children yet so I don’t have any of those inspirational moments to share or reflect upon but I often look back at funny experiences I’ve shared with family, friends, and even co-workers. You know those moments when you get stomach cramps from laughing so hard. I’ll find myself thinking back on those moments while I’m standing at the check-out line or on a bus and just start cracking up. People look at me like I’m crazy but I get a kick out of it!
