Those Moments:
After having taken a shower
Seeing your food arrive at your table or in your hands
Knowing the answer
Realizing it’s Thursday
When someone says “thank you” even though it isn’t always needed
Reading Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby
Losing touch of reality when reading a letter
Receiving happy mail
Finding the misplaced item
Rediscovering a sound or song
Buying school/office supplies
Getting whatever from the market
Swimming in fresh, warm sheets
Opening the door for someone else
Returning from the dentist
Looking up a definition
When you found the right moment to talk about that one thing, with that one person, with the best words.
