Allowing yourself to enjoy the moment. For some like me, that’s anathema. Life experience suggests that this is an anomaly, a harbinger of something terrible, like a winter warm front moving through ahead of tornados. These nice moments just don’t happen…

Remember the mantra: “The mind lies.” It’s easy to forget that the words apply not only to confusion, terror, and despair, but to these situations too. The mind lies.

So, maybe just for today, why not enjoy the feeling that something went right? Why not indulge, if only for a moment, in the dream that it may lead to bigger and better things? We know it’s just a dream, of course – but would it be wrong to harness that warm breeze to move our ship forward?

End the year well, friends. Enjoy your moment.
