the moment


Just live in the moment and enjoy life! Yes, I want to live in the moment, but can it please be a different moment, someone else's moment? My moments are too overwhelming...I'd like a moment without worries, bills, dishes, or laundry looming. I'm tired of being tired. I know this is droll matter to blog about, but this is my moment, my "right now." And it doesn't comfort me to know that my right now moments have been brought about by my very own choices. I shouldn't complain one tiny bit. But I'm too human, too woman, I guess. But at the same time that I am feeling and thinking these drab thoughts, I know deep down in my heart that I am happy and content in spite of it all. "This too shall pass" as my mother always comfortingly quoted. And there are so many others the wide world over that would give years of their lifetime to have but a few of my privileged, blessed moments. Moments filled with true love, real friendship, good food, sins forgiven.


Here's a little list of awesome moments that I experienced today!

Sleeping in until 7:30...BLISSFUL.

Purchasing a colorful, old-fashioned braided rug that was made by hand by Leah, Mrs. Alvin Hiebert from Polly's yard sale. LOVE the turquoise accent it adds in my kitchen.

Basking in the sun {yet still shivering} on the beach with Tanya, Jen, and Mel. THANKFUL for my soft, yellow chevron blanket from Jill.

Devouring a DELICIOUS Key Lime Krispy Kreme donut on the way home.

Talking on the phone with my dad. I have the best FAMILY.

Hearing my HUBBY tell me, "Don't worry 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"

Figuring out once again that WRITING always makes me feel better about LIFE!
