Moments...

I remember the Moment when I was in Kindergarden, and I was not wearing shoelaces. My teacher gave me a huge boot with big red laces to learn how to tie my shoes.

The Moment I entered my first game of spin the bottle was scary as hell, but I adjusted pretty damn well....That's what she said.

I've got vivid memories of excelling in sports, riding bicycles, dirt bikes and 3 wheelers (yep 3 wheelers), and man oh man you wanna talk about Moments?

Don't want to bore anyone, so I'll fast forward.......

Getting my stride, and actually starting to understand who I am. I figure out that....I decide what I want... And, how to get it...What a concept. That was a pretty big Moment.

At this point, I meet my absolutely, without a doubt, gonna be my wife! And, yes she still is and always will be. Continual Moments!

Married!!! Moment!!!

I learned I'm not very good at taking orders, and tell my boss goodbye. Now I have to call my brand new wife and tell her I'm unemployed. Um, that was a Moment!

Start a business, and never have to deal with a dick boss again....pretty good Moment.

Living life with my beautiful wife, awesome dogs (that are our children), I lose my Jasmine, and Holy Shit, that's a tough Moment....that I'll never truly get over.

Hit the lake, hit the mountains, hit the road, wow what Moments. Things just get more interesting every day. I think about the past often, but more often look forward to the future. What sort of Moments are upon my horizon?

Enjoy the Moments of life!!!!

Thanks again for the thread,
Christian
