I believe we're all faced with moments in our lives that are life changing and only we have the power to determine what affect they will have on our lives. Oprah refers to this as an 'ah-ha' moment... a time when the light bulb clicks and it just changes everything. I've thought a lot about my 'ah-ha' moments lately. It's nice to have a reminder of them...
* when you get the opportunity to see yourself through someone else's eyes
* when you get to do something you love
* when the time and energy you've instilled into people's lives pay off
* the thrill of watching my girls win their very first tournament
* when someone smiles simply because they saw you
* laughing until your stomach hurts... when you have no clue what's so funny
* believing in the possibility of people that will be there for you
* knowing friendship knows no limits... or miles
* moving 1500 miles across the country and knowing no one
* choosing to stay... and not picking up your ball and running home
* waking up because you get to... not because you have to and that tomorrow is worth it
* realizing that sometimes the greatest moments, have no words to express them
* the moment it sinks in that you are here for something greater
* finding out that what they think, doesn't really matter
* friendships that make your world worth living in and friends that would move the world to make you happy... that are there to pull you off the ledge when you get a little too close
I'm thankful for so much, but mostly my friends. The people that make me smile everyday. My 'ah-ha' moments are still continuing but my life is now what I make it and it's worth getting up everyday for... snow or not ;)
