What moment of 2011 do you wish you could bottle, to relive again and
again?
What moment made you feel the most alive?
How did that moment
change you?

There is Mr S in the background, pulling a funny face, as I very seriously take a photograph of this caterpillar on the window.
If truth be told, it's moments like this one, that I wish I could bottle, and there are so many of them. Despite all of the things that might break someone's spirit. Mr S keeps coming back with the smiles and the laughs. Reminding me not to take myself so seriously.
Reminding me about what's important in life.
Reminding me how dear he is and how big his heart.
Reminding me to live, love, laugh....now.
These moments have changed me.
How I wish they could change me even more.
Today's prompt reminds me how precious these moments are.
I may seem strange but the minutes when my mom was dying. It was so precious. I held her hand and then crawled into bed with her. It was as beautiful as when I brought my children into the world.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very touching post...like you, so many moments I would like to bottle up. I love reflecting on life...the good and the not so good...I do this every day on my walks.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you! Merry Christmas!
It's a shame that some of us need reminding to laugh - but you've helped me that way this year. So thank you. Be happy.
ReplyDeletethere are so many moments. . . But as 2011 nears it's close (in 4.25 hrs) I would say that moment to be bottled happened just about 2 weeks ago. I was visiting my daughter and grandson in another part of the country. OC will be 2 yrs old in March. I haven't gotten to see him very much over the last year so this visit was a special reconnect visit. The moment he spontaneously hugged me and pressed his little lips to my cheek - that's THE moment. It did change me. Everything inside my heart, mind and body opened and became oh so tender. Angel boy.
