My Beautiful Moments...4th of July.

You know that feeling....
that feeling of a perfect moment? The light shines just right, the smell is memorable, and the sound of that moment is perfect..
I love moments like that. I snap mental pictures and keep them stored away, I can recall them in perfection even years down the road. What song was playing, what that person was wearing, where we were, and what we were talking about..I know an odd talent I have, pretty useless really, other than self satisfaction.
I'm a bit of a daydreamer, I'm kind of wild, a little restless, loud...But I know when to stop, and just breath...and absorb a simply perfect and beautiful moment. They happen, and if you stop long enough you can see them. They may not be anything to anyone else,  but to you they are something.
Smiles, laughter, good food, good loving people... That twinkle in the eye, with a crooked grin.. all the while that simple little moment is melting your heart. It's like electricity, buzzing through your body. Sometimes you even get lucky enough to capture that moment in true form, and those pictures you hold in your hand bring those memories flooding back so fluently.

I had a rough weekend over the 4th with the all of the busy go, go, go...looking back at pictures and really taking the time to remember the moments that made me smile, made me realize in spite of all the hectic moments in life..Most days I do take the time to stop and see the simplicity..Maybe some days I don't truly absorb that moment in it's true form until later, but I can reference back to a few monumental moments in my life and some not so important that made my heart flutter and my mouth smile. Maybe that is why music makes me soul happy. I get a tingle of satisfaction when you are in need of a good theme song for the mood of the day..and at that moment if you look out the window something will be there to match that perfect tune.

 I think if you listen to the elements provided, God sends you messages, he knows the way you listen. He speaks to me through pretty things..Through my perfect moments when I feel the weight lift, the pressure from my heart dissipates and the lump in my throat dissolves..He tells me, it's okay to breath...Just breath, and everything will be alright...When I wake up the next day, the sun is shining and I feel lighter...

Scarlet O'Hara said it best once upon a time-- After all.... tomorrow is another day...

Today is Wednesday and it is sunny.
