I have to admit that I have been reading Oprah Magazine since the first one came out. I like to hear about aha moments. You know, that moment when you realize something or see something in a totally different way?
I am typically not at a loss in any way shape or form for words. I am hard pressed to be the quiet person in any setting (just ask most anyone who has been around me for like...5 minutes).
But I had that moment, the one that I realized I live an amazingly great life. I had gone to meet my friend/colleague/boss at the mall to pick up something she had for me. Then I had about an hour to kill before I bounced out to see my sister for lunch. It was while I was driving down to see there that it absolutely hit me like a wall of bricks. That overwhelming feeling of "you've done good."
I felt like I could totally fit in with my friend/boss and her mom as they shopped in Nordstroms (not my typical haunt as I like to get a deal - I'm much more of a Target or Marshall's regular). But I could keep up with their conversation toe to toe - this brand, that brand...this event, taht event. I could talk their talk.
Then I was heading to see my sister. I was driving my car and realized that it is perfectly great transportation that someone else might covet. I was happily driving with it paid of completely. The tank of gas was full. I was singing along with the stereo. I was going to see my sister, my friend. We can bounce to see each other for lunch whenever we want - we live close.
I really cant explain why that day and why I felt so great. I just did. I hope you get a feeling like that one day.
