Moment

Pick one moment during which you felt most alive this year.

The one moment in which I felt most alive this year was a day this fall. It was a beautiful fall day. The leaves were exploding red and yellow and orqnge. The sun was shining. It was that dreamy 73 degrees weather. The wind was gently swirling around me as I ran errands while all my kids are at school. This is the first time in 9 years that I don't have a preschooler, as my baby started school this year.

Historic downtown Franklin, Tn was it's normal ideallic charming self. There is a vibe in this place that is so alive. It's always hopping with shoppers, and lunchers, artists, students and moms. Everyone always seems happy to be doing their thing in this quaint spot in town.

I was doing errands related to my room mom duties all day long. And it was just a glorious day to be out and about. And I thought to myself. I love my life. I love my "job." I love my family and this place I live in. And I love the people in my life. I am alive and exactly where I want to be.
