Earlier today I tweeted:
Do you ever have one of those moments in life wherein you are extremely
satisfied and happy and you feel that all is right in your world?
I received silly comments back like, "Yeah, after sex." Or "I always wonder what I'm missing and don't like that feeling at all." Stuff like that
Our Ragnar team came over to our house tonight for a party so I had to clean the house, of course. There were some things I left until I knew the kids would be home from school and be able to pitch in.
The few minutes before I tweeted I was standing in my backyard that had been poop-patrolled (dog poop), the porch had been swept and cleaned, cushions on the furniture straightened, beautiful cool fall weather with the wan fall sun shining and my oldest son running around with the dog. All the kids had obeyed me and done what I'd asked without a fight. The house was clean and I was ready for the party.
See? There was nothing extraordinary about the scenario. The only thing I can pinpoint that would make me feel that way was the fact that everything was clean inside and out and the kids were happy. The sun was shining and it was a beautiful fall day.
These things together gave me a peaceful feeling.
And that's all I have to say about that.

Sometimes it's easy to think, "These times come so rarely, I have to enjoy it!" But I think we can actually experience those moments a lot more often if only we let ourselves.
