Moments

 

I am calm by nature and calmed by it. In situations where there is nothing I can do about it I've never understood why people get aggravated. Traffic is one of them. Once it's clear that one is stuck in it, I have a good collection of music and sing myself through it.

In fact, I stopped car sharing because certain colleagues would bang on steering wheels, swearing. We won't get there any faster.

It snowed again. I stepped out to see if I was up for a walk. The sun was shining, it was beautiful. A person with issues was talking to me. I'm in a good mood, but was not in the mood for conversation. He was doing this to everyone who walked by. I decided to wait. By the time he was gone so was the sun.

A few hours later I stepped outside again. There was a little snow, about a foot, it was still coming down and it was so pretty that I simply took in this moment. Snowflakes reflecting lights. Fresh snow without tire marks. Calm and not windy. In the past I would have put on my snowboots and gone for an invigorating stomp.

Still dealing with long covsssh, so I enjoyed the moment. A father with his teenage daughters was walking by wanting to take a pic because it was so pretty. I hate snow one complained. This is sh..t the other agreed. Just enjoy it I thought. These moments are few and not that small.
