For this blog, I am going to talk about 'moments'. I mean, each of us have our own moments, don't we? Moments that can be described in one spectrum to be -- wonderful! amazing! fabulous! once in a lifetime!. Now this type is way up there! They can make us feel high, like we've been drugged-up or something. Of course, these moments, as they occur, have a certain lifespan. This could be in time units such as, a couple of days, a few hours, minutes, even seconds. But these things could survive in one's memory for years; and one can re-live such moments by looking through kodak prints or telling stories to anybody who cares to listen. ---- Then, on the other end of spectrum are those -- sad, melancholy, 'bad trip' kind of moments. There is no escape from such kind. We have to live through them, learn from them, and get strength out of them. I mean, we can't be all fabulous all the time. We could get bored. If we're fab all the time, complaints could come in such forms as -- "Man, I'm tired of being happy all the time." Doesn't sound right. Of course, these dark moments also have durations. They can be longer than days... and could take years even, depending on how long we hold on to them. Therefore their lifespans are self-dictated. It's our choice to keep or let go. Letting go seems to be the better option. ----- Lastly, there are those moments that are in between... you know... those everyday moments -- my personal favorite. The ones that are not very spectacular -- but not bad either. Examples would be -- hanging out with my brothers... exchanging playful insults to one another, playing billiards, drinking beer, watching comedy on TV.... Or a phone call from my Mom and Papa -- Papa giggling about how Mom walked out from this Rated-R movie that they watched on their 30th Anniversary... Or having dinner at my house with friends, having coffee &/or wine afterwards & chatting about anything... Or even simpler like cruising through C-5 with Josh Groban's "Vincent" on the stereo, and I'm singing along. That one was good, I felt so content... like I couldn't ask for more. Anyway, to wrap this up, in my mind, there are three colors of moments -- White, Gray, and Black. Each important, but with varying frequency of occurence. For me, Gray happening more than Black and White. Kinda like a Bell Curve... (stat geek!). I wouldn't expect yours to be the same. But maybe this could be something you can think about.
