In the Moment...

(this is not the sunset referred to in the blog post. This was taken coming down after hiking Lone Peak)

Today I realized that I don't really have a life while I am in school.

I thought about maybe one day writing children's books. Maybe just for my own children.

As I watched the sunset behind the horizon while driving home from my meeting, I experienced serenity. I felt calm. I could breathe. I rolled down the window and turned off the radio. I let the warm air rush accross my face. I realized that this moment will only happen one time. I knew I had to enjoy it. I took hundreds of photographs in my mind of that perfect sunset, the fresh air, and the calm feeling. I had no cell phone with me, no radio on, and no air conditioner going.

For fifteen minutes today, I truly lived in the moment.
