Moments.
Tags:I had a moment tonight.
I am here in Salt Lake City, getting ready for CK meetings this week. Tonight I took a little break and headed over to the mall. While waiting for the shuttle to come pick me up and take me back to the hotel I had a moment. Sitting outside, looking towards the awesome mountains I realized it has been way too long since I just sat and was not in a hurry to get on to the next thing.
My to-do list is still as long as it was before I walked into the mall. My mental list of things I want to change, adjustments to our home-life I want to make, healthier choices I want to make - it was all still there. But in that moment I was peaceful - if for just a couple minutes while waiting for the shuttle.
And to be honest, I was relieved. I had missed that little feeling of peace, that bit of breathing room. I think I was worried since I had not felt it in awhile that maybe, just maybe it was gone for good. I have been crazy BUSY. The kind where it feels like everything is getting half-done and nothing is being done well.
I needed that moment. Maybe sometimes it is just having patience that things are always in a cycle and that it will come back full circle again and you just have to ride it out.
So today, I am thankful for quiet, peaceful moments outside the mall.

Isn't it funny how those fleeting moments of peace come at such unsuspecting times...like yours came waiting for the shuttle. It is so good that you were "in tune" to catch it and appreciate it...so many of us would have let that moment slip right by. Good for you!

THanks for sharing, I could use a moment as well - I have that same feeling, I'm not giving 100% to anything right now - glad you had a moment to think

You and I met once at CHA summer; but we don't know each other. Take more of those peaceful, quiet, watchful moments for yourself. There are so many of us scrappers out here who admire you, look forward to what you have next for us, but once in a while just forget about all of "us" out here. Life is too short - take those moments often - someday you'll wish you would have. You give so much to all of us; it's only right that you give yourself just as much of yourself as you give to us!!!

Glad you had those moments.
Sometimes you need to make a stop and take a deep breath,
you can't keep runnig all the time.
We all love you.
Hope you will have more of those moments in your busy life.

Thanks for reminding us not to let those moments get away from us. I can relate to how busy life can be, and every once in a while, you have to stop and take it all in.

Ali,
my hands are sweating....I went to the Junk site and I am in heaven and my head is seriously going to explode!! I am a flea market pack rat [of course in a cool semi organized, with a purpose kind of way..do they have 12 step programs for this?] and I have been saving "stuff" like that since I was about 8 and thank god for art so I can actually use the stuff! I added it to my favorites. Thanks Ali and yes after I come down from this weird junk high I think I will just sit quietly and breathe.
Happy 4th of July!!
Denise
