Today’s Ahhmoments
Do you have those moments when you stop and go “ahh!”? Ahhmoments are
not
to be
confused with aha-momentsAhhmoments are not to be confused with aha-moments, which are more about making a mental connection than a spiritual connection. You know, the light bulb going on kind of thing. So what’s an ahhmoment? Think Kodak moments. Or Hallmark. All those commercials make me cry with joy because they call that ahhmoment feeling to my heart. It’s when you see a baby smile. Or hear their first word. It’s when you stand beside your adult children as they pledge their hearts to the one they love. It’s when you watch a bird in flight enjoying the sheer fun of gliding the wind currents before a storm, as I did this afternoon. It’s watching your child or grandchild being born. It’s hearing your children, or in my case, grandchildren call out to you with glee as they run into your arms. It’s being in touch with your spirit. Of feeling your connection with God, the Universe, Source, or what ever name you use. It’s feeling everything is right in your world, even if it’s not. It’s love. It’s joy. It’s bliss. It’s every wonderful feeling earthly life can offer. It’s an ahhmoment. What ahhmoments have you experienced today?
I’ll add to the following list as ahhmoments occur to me.
