AN AEROSMITH MOMENT
Do you ever have one of those moments when you are in the middle of doing something and all of a sudden you realize, in that very instance, that you are truly happy?
On my way to work today I was walking in the crisp fall morning air feeling the sun slowly beginning to warm everything around me and all of a sudden the thought hit me - I am happy! There is no rhyme or reason to these moments and I don't believe you can pinpoint one thing in your life that causes you to feel the way you do. I guess if there was only one reason for you to be happy the happiness would be rather fleeting. No, this happiness comes from just being. It comes from a natural place inside you that tells you that everything is okay and makes you appreciative for everything you have.
My friend Charlotte and I call these Aerosmith Moments.
Life can throw you some curve balls that set you back a few paces. But these curves are what make the Aerosmith Moments possible. You make mistakes, some minor and some major. You learn from your mistakes. You make ammends. You start living again.
Today, I am living. I have love. I have family. I have friends. I have everything I need and more. Today I am happy.
"It's amazing. With the blink of an eye you finally see the light. It's amazing that when the moment arrives you know you'll be alright."
