That Moment.
That moment when a drip of water
crystallizes into ice with a single degree drop in temperature.
That moment when your eyes meet
and you truly see, and you immediately understand completely.
That moment when a song comes on
and memories and long-forgotten feelings flood your heart and soul.
That moment when the ringing phone
brings startling news that suddenly changes everything.
That moment when a single spark
ignites a rip-roaring, intensely scorching, blazing fire.
That moment of quiet wonder amidst the clamor
that reminds us that blissful peace is within reach.
That moment…
just one of the many…
that define our lives.
Cherish that moment.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
the creative life in between 
I love a great, and continuing, definition.

The amazing (and somewhat unsettling) thing about the moments that you so beautifully describe, Jodi, is that we never really know when they will happen. How can we possibly be prepared for those special moments? I guess we really need to cherish every moment and be thankful for every breath that we take, knowing that life is fragile and comes with an unknown expiration date for each of us.

No we don’t know when they will be, but we can sure cherish them when they occur. My thought is we need to seek moments each day to cherish. Maybe the whole day won’t be something to jump up and down about – but if we focus on those times when small moments make an impact, then we will see value and beauty in life. 🙂

Beautifully said, Jodi.
I found lots of those on my windshield today. Temperature above freezing, so I thought they were water. My wipers complained loudly that it was ice. LOL. Hugs.

We were supposed to get snow again, but dodged the bullet. The ice really shouldn’t even have formed. It was strange.

Hi Jodi, I just wrote you a reply and it disappeared! 😮 I started blogging in Jan of 2015. I tried to do it daily and I lasted about 6 months or so… I discovered that I found a DAILY routine took the fun out of it for me. Yet, I have learned that I need to fill my well too so I need to take a day or two off each week. Maybe a break would help you? I think everyone would understand. ❤️ And I so enjoy your posts! 😘xo
