Life Couldn't Get Any Better

There are moments in life you wish you could live inside. It is when you feel totally at peace. You are not thinking about work, or family, or friends. All you think about is how totally right this moment feels and that you wish is would never end. It is a moment that you want to capture on film to replay over and over again in your mind’s eye.

I had one of these life couldn’t get any better moments this weekend. We were at the ranch in the front yard. C was using Isaac as her pillow and I was using her leg. We just lay in the grass looking up at a perfectly blue sky. The wind was blowing. The temperature was perfect there in the shade. A bird flew right over us and the sun seemed to shine through his wings. The bird was a buzzard who must have thought he hit pay dirt. C raised her hand to let him know we were alive and well and to keep on flying.

If I could relive those few minutes at will it would be the best thing in the world.
