I went to see the movie Boyhood this weekend with a dear friend I
don’t get to see often because – wait for it – life gets in the ways.
This movie touched me way down deep. The deep that makes me
get all gitty because I see that other people think the same as I do.
I have been holding out for the WOW moment in my life.
Even with cancer, I have been holding out for something.
For the next something to be wowed at.
At
first, I was waiting for the cancer to be gone.
Then it was (the first time)
Then I was waiting be like I was
before cancer.
Then I was.
Then I got cancer again.
Then I was waiting until it was
gone.
Then it was.
Then it wasn’t.
In between all these huge moments that make up this life, I
too easily forget that it is in between these huge moments that is really life.
Yes, I have more peaks and valleys then most people, but I
am really trying harder to enjoy the whole ride – not just the breathing-taking
drops.
And being ok with the mundane coasting.
I am finding out,
that is where you see all the pretty sensory.
