When you get the dark chocolate truffle filled with the creamy caramel center and you take the first warm gooey bite, that moment, that delight filled moment is one to be celebrated!
When you open a box from far away and find the perfect bauble or do-dah and hold that something in your hand that a dear one held in their hand and chose for you. Sheer joy.
Or when the phone rings and the voice on the other end soothes your busy mind with its message of love and support. That second is happiness.
It is the small, tiny fractions of time that add joy and vibrancy to life. It is the moments, the seconds, the freeze frame images of people and places, sounds and smells that come back to haunt us in nostalgic days and dreaming evenings.
This moment, watching the snow fall and paint the world white was stellar.
Watching Oliver with his Dad, both watching the world turn into a flakey white place was awesome.
Smelling the fresh cinnamon rolls that Cheryl made, and snapping the bakery pamphlet perfect image of them. Priceless.
It's a busy time of year for most of us. Many of my friends are stressed to the max with finals and papers and lack of motivation. And yet, in the middle of panic mode, we have all found our caramel center seconds. The seconds that make our days worth their weight in gold.
