Brief Moments

I had two glorious but brief moments today.
The first was this morning. I road my scooter to work today. I was filling in for someone, I don't really "work". I was on the road, it was so cool and fresh as the sun was just breaking through the trees. there was dew still on the grass. I finally had a breath of fall. AHHH. The cool air felt so good, finally after this miserably hot summer. I felt like I could finally breathe. Then a bug smashed against my cheek....completely ruining my bliss. at 45 miles an hours bugs hurt.


The second blissful moment was just now, i muted that damn family guy show. not really.

I was holding my daughter on my lap, watching her smile at her brother. I put my nose against her soft hair, closed my eyes and breathed her in. She is so soft and sweet. It just takes my breath away. her beautiful eyes shining when we play and kiss and hug. She's just so happy to love and be loved. Isn't that the most important thing, the most singular thing, to love and be loved. I am lucky, I have both.

My son has certainly given me moments like this. But now they are a little different. He's all boy. And seeing the joy in his eyes when he discovers something like a worm or beams at me with a fresh booger on his finger. Those are precious moments too. I hope he beams like this forever.

peace out - s
