Living For The Moments

"Live for the moments that you can't put into words."

I don't know if you have noticed that quote on my blog, just over there.

I put it there a month or so ago - and today as I was sitting and hoping to be inspired I began to think about it.

There are moments in life that are just beyond words. Indescribable, intense, emotion packed. Writing has proven to be great therapy for me but sometimes, like today, there are moments in my life just don't translate to pen and paper. I have been sitting at the computer for an hour, and yep, there are no words to describe some of the best moments of my life. Since words are failing me tonight, I have decided to just fall back on the tried and true method of making a list. I am counting my blessings so to speak, reliving some great memories and some important moments in my life.

  • Longing for love and finding it
  • Waiting anxiously for a child to be born
  • Watching a sleeping child holding onto a beloved stuffed toy
  • Meeting a favorite friend for lunch and laughing, laughing, laughing until our sides hurt.
  • Hugging someone you know you won't see for a long time once they get in the car and drive away
  • Hearing a favorite song on the car radio and singing until your ears hurt
  • Finding your favorite scent in lotion, shower gel and body splash formula
  • Enjoying your favorite season with someone
  • Having a craving for a snack and a friend to share the snack with

How about you - have you a list of moments, too filled with life that words fail you? Would love to hear yours - leave your URL or a comment.

Living Happily In the Moment!
