I figured it was easier to just go find a link....its a great book! I read most of it on the way home from CKU-A SJ..

Ah...yes. Little 'golden' moments.

At 58 yrs old, if there is one thing that I have learned, it's to cherish those moments of peace. Life goes by quickly. It can change drasticily at any given moment and you will never be the same again. I know.
I am starting an album I'm going to call "Life Outside My Window". It's about the "ordinary" things that happen in my own yard. I had not taken the time to witness the life and struggles that happen under my own nose. It's awesome. A world existing and connected to my own. A great learning experience.

life can be frantic! Feeling that peace, even for a brief moment is what keeps us going! Enjoy your time in the mountains!

I feel you, Ali.

Ali- I totally had one of those moments last night too.
It's been raining really hard on the east coast for the last week but last night there was a break. It was still overcast, but warm and breezy. My Gentleman Companion decided to fire up the grill and I sat at our picnic table during a cloudy sunset looking at our house and our two boys and for that moment I just had a deep inner SIGH. I had nowhere else I wanted or felt I needed to be and could just relax doing this normal everyday thing.
It was awesome.

so profound, miss Ali E.
and symbolic
you had a peaceful moment
outside of the mall
a mall is so hustle and bustle
it is nice to just leave the
hustle and bustle
and just have a moment
to yourself,
something peaceful
something that doesn't put any
demands on you.
not even the demands we put on
ourselves.
so happy you had this all
to yourself : )

Thanks for putting into words exactly what I am feeling. Looking for a little peace right now. Life, it seems, is always a rush. A rush to get here or there, a rush to get it done, a rush to make every moment count. Thank heavens for those little moments when you can actually breath. I love that you found one. Have a peaceful day!

Awesome! Hope you have many, many more moments. So wonderful to be truly present. Something I strive for all the time. Thanks so much for sharing!

WoW Sounds like a perfect, well-needed moment Ali! so so Good for you. and thanks for sharing it, a great reminder, man do things get out of hand busy sometimes, those moments are just what we all need to keep afloat. Thanks for the reminder.

Wishing all you young moms time to sit on the porch with your little ones as the sun goes down counting lightening bugs and stars.

Your view on life is always insightful and refreshing. Thank you for putting yourself, your thoughts, your feelings and your being here to help the rest of us. I am so grateful that I found your blog. You have touched my life in ways you will never know. Thanks.

those moments are so needed sometimes... glad you found a moment of peace ali... hope they come more often for you!

When I stop by to visit your blog it is my moment of peace that I squeeze into my busy day. I know I can't stay long but long enought to get me through the rest of the day. Thanks!!

Well said...and I totally understand. I'm glad you had that moment and savored it while you did. :)

given how you freely gave so many women their "moments" during your track at cku- i'm overjoyed to hear you had one for yourself!!! thank you for sharing this!

Mall?
I say it's a little slice of
HEAVEN!

Have a great rest of the day! :)
