Moments

My eyes were so heavy this morning. Without opening my eyes I knew it was overcast outside. That was ok with me. As I pulled myself out of bed, my blood started to pump harder and my heavy eyes opened slowly. I had a lot to get done today, so it seemed logical to play some music to get me going. I love loud music with beautiful lyrics and a beat to dance to.  The first song that played on my stereo was Happy by Pharrell. "Because I am happy" moved me along.  While I did yoga I watched the snow blowing off the top of Timp. It looked magic, a perfect flowing moment. I have been trying to practice being in the moment, being present. Yoga has helped me. I love it. It takes patience. It has calmed my thoughts and calmed my heart. As my day went on I continued to listen to music. My songs played, I would sing along, move my body to the beat, and feel it inspire me. For a while now Lana Del Rey has been such a love of mine. Her music is hard to describe but it speaks deeply to me. Her lyrics are heaven and hell, beauty and pain. My heart and head were light. My girl came home from school and off we went to get a birthday present for a friend and flowers for the house. Deep purple carnations called my name, so into the cart they went. We found ourselves getting some delicious curly fries. We ate them on the way home as we listened to a local radio station. Silence between us but music in the air. Another perfect flowing moment. I love these moments, these everyday life moments. This is what our life is made of. Tonight I had a lovely moment eating a Cadbury egg, it was perfect.
