Another Wow Moment

December 22. 2021

Another wow moment. It is one of the reasons I am glad to be old. Because being old I have retired from the demands of reality. If I look at the face of a clock, I do not need to see numbers because it doesn’t matter where the hands of the clock are pointing. All I need to know is, it is another wow moment. I am so excited to be alive. I am so appreciative for the gifts I have been given, and so grateful for everything I have. It is 4:33 AM and guess what? Another wow moment is happening right now. I am so incredibly happy. I cannot even think of the words to describe what is going on in my heart right now. It is like I have a butterfly fluttering around inside my chest. It is so wonderful. This minute is so wonderful. I am feeling so in the zone of appreciation and gratitude. I am feeling so loved and so happy. It is again another wow moment. I am 73 years old, and I just keep on saying wow. It is like if a sightless person could see for the first time. He would be having a wow moment. If a woman just gave birth to a healthy beautiful baby, she would be having a wow moment. If an Olympian just won the gold medal, then that person would be having a wow moment. Wow moments happen all of the time. My wow moments are a little different. I am thinking of how much I am loved. It is a wow moment. I had the stitches taken out of my hand yesterday, and the wound has healed. Another wow moment. I am in a warm house, when it is 35 outside. Another wow moment. I am alive and so happy. Guess what? Another wow moment. Oh, did I mention how much I like to see a rainbow? Another wow moment. I cannot name all the things creating wow moments in my life. How great is that? Appreciation and gratitude for what I have bring great joy to my day. Appreciation and gratitude create wow moments over and over again. I never take anything for granted. It is all a gift. I believe every age has its own gifts to behold. I know wow moments are not reserved only for the old, but the old have time to appreciate them. Old is not a destination, but rather it is the culmination of many wow moments. Remember. If you want to have good memories, then remember the good. If you want to have wow moments, start opening your cartoon eyes so you can see all the gifts you have been given. Wow my right elbow is twitching. I must have said something important. “If you want to have wow moments start opening your cartoon eyes so you can see all the gifts you have been given”. Some things are worth repeating. Have as many wow moments today as you can, and I guarantee you will be happy when you put your head on your pillow tonight.
