Every now and then one is confronted with an OMG moment. Totally unexpected, utterly wonderful.
Early yesterday morning (Friday, 23rd), I took myself off for a very little run. As I hit the driveway, the new day hit me. I litterally felt OMG go through me, mind and body. Utterly fresh air, the softest light of the new day, well before the sun starts to rise and quiet. No sirens, no traffic, no voices, no blaring tv/music/anything else. Even JH was asleep on my bed and not around with his joyous tail and pull on the lead.
The run itself was very short. I barely made a mile plus some of the way back. We get unfit all too quickly. No matter what the physical shortcomings, the day began ultra well, thanks to something that is there for everyone to enjoy, every single day, but that we choose to miss.
So true - I have had a few of those moments and know what you are talking about. Moments when you are truly alive right then! Not thinking about yesterday or tomorrow or what you need to do or who you need to call. Just feeling the touch of the air, hearing the sounds of the day, being in the moment in a positive way - awesome!
