My husband Jeff and I spent a fantastic long weekend at Martha's Vineyard! The time there was so special that I kept wishing I could bottle up the entire experience. So that, on a gloomy, stormy, rainy day (whether internally or externally) I could pull it out and, if only a little, experience it all over again. It was one of those rare magical experiences and I drank it all in.
As the ferry pulled away from the island dock, I consciously replayed the wonderful moments on the theatre in my mind. I closed my eyes, squeezed Jeff's hand, and watched the movie. A huge grin took over my face, as my giddiness exploded and my heart swelled! I realized that I wanted - no,
needed - to fully experience everything so that I could solidly adhere the moment to my heart. And I did!
Now, four day later, I have done some reflection and realize that I rarely take the time to savor the significant moments of my life. Instead, I have let them happen to me, and then, if I am lucky, I later realize how impactful the experiences were. In fact, I had never
comprehended doing anything different, until now.
My experience on Martha's Vineyard,
was different. And, I can't help but think that by consciously savoring the moment, I made this experience a gazillion times better!
Do you savor the moments of your life?
How?
