My definition of living in the moment? I was at a bonfire with my closest friends, listening to country blaring out of an old ‘71 Ford. I was sitting in the back of the truck, and I turned to see him holding out his hand…and we danced. He NEVER dances, but he heard me say I wanted to ten minutes before. That moment lasted maybe a total of two minutes…but it felt like a lifetime…Yeah, I know, it seems totally insignificant…but I loved it…

What could be more fun than standing on the ledge of a thousand-something foot drop with nothing but an elastic cord strapped to your ankle? That would be the most awesome rush, to just hold out your arms from your sides and step off, without any feeling that you’re securely strapped, without the comfort of a heavy parachute on your back, or anything on the rocky creek below you to break your fall. yyyeeeaaaahhhh buddy
I’m always wearing a mask in front of people, or I’m just not being me…I hate what I do sometimes, like taking friends and people for granted, treating them selfishly, or just letting them down. This doesn’t happen that often, I’m usually good to them and I’m there for them, but I can definately say I haven’t had my “shining moments”.
