I had a thoughtful moment today. Driving home from my parents house. We've had such a ridiculously nice summer and fall this year. I can't believe it's comfortable to drive with the windows down on the last day of September. Hugo is glad for sure. He had his head out the window, sucking in great gulpfulls of air, the wind whipping his hair straight back and pulling his tight lips into the closest thing to a doodle smile that he can muster under such circumstances. Summer completely let go, but the best parts of fall are already creeping in. All this, punctuated with the beat of the perfect song brought me to a realization.
This is the best my life is going to be for the foreseeable future.
There are so many things I long for in my life that would have made this moment impossible. Differences in my life that would most-likely have prevented me from golfing on a Sunday mornings, removed the need for me to leave Hugo at my parents' house and forced me to trade Dragonette for The Wilggles.
But that moment was so perfect. It was everything that should be right now.
Life is full of a million different choices, endless permutations and options. The trick is to leverage perfect moments out of the opportunities you have. Control what you can, and focus on everything that's good and wonderful in your universe, not the things that aren't available to you at the moment.
I'll need to read this many more times. And remember that moment.
