Savor my moment.
One week in Costa Rica. Back to all of my favorite things! The tidal moment was being in the waves an hour before sunset. Standing waist deep and waves coming neck deep. Such a glorious thing. Looking over the horizon across the water again. I tried to look at the beach, but I had to keep an eye on the waves, some were over my head, or crashing as it reached me.
Being in the water and defying gravity, and sharing the energy of the endless waves, it was so fun. Then a bike ride back home to rinse off and eat the French onion soup that I made. Good moments. Every day has the good ones, the great ones, and the really truly not so great moments. I choose to carry the good ones with me, since I hold the basket.
So this was a post that I started and never posted. And here I am now, seeing these glorious memories, and wishing I wasn't in Seattle where the temperature is 32 degrees farenheit. At least it's sunny, even if I'm so bundled up that little of it actually hits my skin. I've been having fun in my pink boots and long sleeves, but I don't think I would like it for months on end. There is such a free-ness (why isn't that a word?) to slipping on flip flops and heading out the door. No socks to wash. Or match. Or find. I don't get outside much these days, I've been inside and in my head, and in the history books. I have endless projects to organize my family tree and pictures and work that puzzle.
Today has some great moments. Facebook gave me a preview of photos from 2017 and man, those memories were fantastic. What a year. It has been all kinds of unbelievable. And I realized that I am not done yet. 2017 is not done yet. I am going to squeeze all the juice out of this orange, let me tell you. I'm not sliding into 2018 sitting down catching my breath. Oh no. I'm going to be sliding in like I hit the ball far and I have to streak to home base to make the winning score.
I'm on a mission to love my life. And another one to light the world. I guess those are easy to combine. I'm rocking out the year with both of those programs that give me wonderful things to make each day remarkable.
Savor the moment. I savor the moment every time my hands are warm. Because sometimes they get so cold they hurt. I savor the moment when I'm hungry, and I can eat. It's a simple joy in life. I savor the moment when a friend says hello through text or social media. I savor the moment with every new photo that I find that has my family in it, living their lives, smiles on their faces. I savor the cold that makes it so easy to cuddle with my dearest husband (it's a little harder to even hold hands when it's sweaty hot out all the time). What moments will you savor today?
