Spontaneous dances in the rain
Electricity from a first kiss
Lying in grass playing with cloud formations
Hugging a best friend after months that felt like years
Reaching a mountain’s summit, above the chaos
Day naps, not a care in the world
6am winter bicycle rides, cold air stinging my lungs
Cutting open a perfectly ripe avocado
Serene plane flight home, post vacation
Grammy’s eyes and arms wide as I walk in the door
Small army of flames dancing on a birthday cake
Giving a 2-week notice to a dreadful job
First of the morning, smelling coffee and bacon
The satisfying soreness from a successful workout
Two-lane highway flight, windows down, music up
Tears of joy, rare sensation
Hysterical laughter gasping for air
First ride on the slopes, fresh powder
Flavor of love in a home cooked meal
Hard work paid off
Mom’s echoing scream in passenger pickup
Fizzle and crack of a soda can opening
Sweet addiction to a new hobby
Neon purple and pink flowers, blooming cacti
The mental reset of a near death experience
Early morning fog lingering in Southern California
Candle lit room, lounge seating
First sip of a well-balanced cocktail, spirit forward
Your dog’s same ecstatic reaction welcoming you home
Letting the mind wander freely
Countless watched sunsets, no two the same
“I am so proud of you” – any family member, ever.
So many blurred moments, missed opportunities
Refuse to let another pass without being acknowledged
Make a point to be aware
Beautiful occurrences never last long enough.
– Breelyn Shelkey
I love this.
