Sometimes life is deeply satisfying.
This morning as I reflect on the weekend and the moment that
is right now, I am fully content with the here and now. This is not like me. For
years my life has been a series of journeys; searching for something. Sometimes
with purpose; sometimes simply grasping for something more. It has been a long
time since I simply rested in the moment and enjoyed the present.
Of all the great things that have come my way since weight
loss surgery and significant weight loss, this is the greatest: to simply live
in the moment; to accept myself, with all my imperfections and failures, as a
work in process. I’m not perfect, nor
will I ever be. I am me, a wholly acceptable mess of humanity.
When I hear beautiful music, when I hold my infant grandson,
when my granddaughter clings to me like she’ll never let go, when I hear my
wife sleeping peacefully next to me in the night, what more could I want? What more
could I need?
I am me, and that’s completely OK.
