A Fleeting Moment In An Eternal State

This has been a relaxing night. Very nice.

Laura and I just spent the last hour or two laying on the couch, drinking herbal tea, listening to Norah Jones play in the background, and not thinking or worrying about a thing. Very relaxing indeed.

Earlier this evening I roasted a batch of coffee to drink tomorrow. That also has its own therapeutic effects.

Looking forward to attempting to make my first bagels tomorrow. All is well in my house right now.

It's moments like these when I feel like I am catching a glimpse of eternity: when I'm doing things that make me feel so alive. So I try to live in it for as long as I can before it is gone. Moments like these don't last long usually. But they give me such a boost of energy and joy for my life. Such a good feeling.

Damn dude.

This is exactly what I needed to hear.

I've been trying to goof around a bit too much and ended up missing out on things that make me feel like I'm getting a glimpse of eternity.

Thanks for the reminder and the conviction.

Bam!

Glad it spoke to you man. That's what's been on my mind a lot recently.

Thanks for the "scribble". I want to be intentional in doing what makes me come alive...doing what counts toward eternity. It's hard to do that as an engaged man (excluding the part where I'm preparing for marriage, as I know that in itself does have significance). Even after I'm married though, I know I'll come up with other excuses. Sigh. Anyway, I'm glad you're on your way, at least.
