It felt like heaven
It felt like heaven when mom hugged me and said it would be okay
when I finally managed to ride the bicycle on my own
when I scored a six of the last ball to win the championship for my team
when I got down on my knees and she said yes
when I saw her face at the airport after a long voyage
when I held my little princess in my arms
when I saw my little princess take her first steps
It felt like heaven when I had loved ones by my side to share the joy and misery of life

Great reminder of the heavenly things in life. Thanks, I needed that today.

I like the way you used “heaven” instead of “clouds” and took your story a different way.

Lovely musing. But the tragedy is that as we go through life, we seldom live in the moment, so engaged do we get with our fears from the past and uncertainties from the future. So much so that we miss out on acknowledging the blessings that life bestows on us all the time.

Rightly said. I rmbr this conversation from Kung fu Panda movie… its goes something like the past is gone future uncertain.. but the present is a present.. i don’t rmbr the exact words.. thanks for stopping by 🙂

especially this modified version.. “Yesterday is a canceled check; tomorrow is a promissory note; today is the only cash you have – so spend it wisely”
