A Good Day In Between

I love celebrating the big moments in our life while we’re alive on planet Earth…. birthdays…weddings…family reunions…holidays and births. These big moment are special to us…we know exactly what they mean… but there’s also a place within my heart for all those little moments in between. A morning walk to watch the sun rise on a shore devoid of crowds… listening to the rhythm of the waves while the sunlight paints the clouds. Sitting down to breakfast together…doing crosswords…watching the morning news… getting all excited about a new ’T’ shirt…or a brand new pair of shoes. Taking a ride to buy the best key lime cookies which we may or may not share… sitting together in silent contentment knowing the other person’s there. Receiving a text from our children or grandchildren…any time…day or night…. which always brings a smile….knowing they took the time to write. Watching the sun set back into the water…drawing peace signs in the dirt… listening to the rain…having ice cream for dessert… Yesterday was a day of little moments…no big moments of which I am aware… but in the midst of these little moments…I found much comfort there. I believe these little moments…where life and living coincide… is where, if we are lucky…our joy and happiness reside. Yes, I love celebrating the big moments… what they represent and all they’e come to mean…. but I am convinced what gives life its meaning and its beauty… are all those little moments…in between.
