Every Moment is Golden...

...if you can recall the moments that is. Sometimes during busy days, it is hard to remember an actual highlight because the whole day just whizzes by like a cheetah on the hunt, a blur of colors and sounds. Today seemed like one of those days, or maybe it was just because I didn't sleep enough last night that the day seemed blurry and unfocused?

I started the day by running to work with my REI Flash daypack holding my lunch, which was homemade chicken curry with coconut milk today and very tasty, and a change of clothes. The run to work is only 2.5 miles or so, but it is enough to work up a sweat and get energized for the day. The endorphins usually linger until late afternoon. I have vivid memories of the run like the freshness of the air post-rain, the shininess of large puddles I jumped, and the stillness between the roaring of cars spaced out by red traffic lights. Then, once I arrived at work, there was no time for reflection. I barely remember a thing until it was time to leave again. This can't be good. I mean, who wants his or her life to speed along so fast there is not time to toss out a few memory anchors every now and then? If there are no memories, life is a big blank space like a wiped harddrive barrelling towards oblivion. My superhero goal for tomorrow is to slow down time.
