Pick a Moment

“Some moments are nice, some are nicer, some are even worth writing about.”
-Charles Bukowski

There was some little thing inside of me that kept saying that I should not miss the chance to write a blog article today. It bothered me so much that I set my alarm today to go off at 12:12pm on this, the 12th day, of the 12th month in the year 2012.

I can tell you that the logical part of me prefers to simply view this a another moment in time. That the passing of the day, hour, minute and second are just time passing as any other day, hour, minute or second.

Yet another part of me says this was something special to acknowledge. It will be a moment in time that will never happen again in my lifetime or for several lifetimes. The next moment similar to this will be in the year 2112. So I actually did a small little jig while standing in a cold computer lab for 12 seconds.

So maybe I am a bit crazy, a little off-kilter or just someone enjoying every minute of his life. In fact, I could have picked any one of the 635 months,

or 2728 weeks
or 19099 days
or 458372 hours
or 27502326 minutes

or 1650139611 seconds (and counting), I have been alive to dance and be happy about.

I guess every now and then we need to just pick one of them and rejoice at having experienced another moment of our lives. Stay inspired my friends.
