This Moment
The Fourth of July happens to be my favorite holiday. I love the whole idea of celebrating our liberty and freedom it always reminds me of all I have to be thankful for in my life.
I love it all: the sounds-the kabooms, crackles and whistles; the smell of BBQ and sulfur; the explosion of color; the feel of the hot sun of the day and the cool breeze of the evening; the taste of potato salad, black bean and corn salsa, brats and backed beans; most of all I love the time I spend with my two sons.
As my sons Wesley and Duncan join me at the lake I try to take time to savor every moment. I try to set aside everything else and be totally in this moment. I recognize that each moment is a gift to be savored and shared with those we love, the nature that surrounds us and the health we enjoy. Sitting and watching a movie, drinking root beer floats and cleaning fish all become precious moments.
Being mindful of this moment is worth celebrating 24/7.
