Fathers' Day

Today is Fathers' Day. Yay!!! :)
Unfortunately, I only remembered because of the signs. When is Mothers' Day? I have no idea. :(

Moments

There are moments that take you by surprise. Moments that bring about thoughts/feelings to remind you how content you are - at - that - moment. Nothing about the future or past. Just. That. Moment.

There is always time for jokes and teasing. But you have to make sure that when it comes down to it, people around you know how much you cherish their company, their wisdom, and how important their happiness is to you.

There are so many good things to be grateful for. Despite there being a slight risk in feeling there is nowhere else I'd rather be, I think I'm pretty close to it. Though there is something powerful about wanting what you have, there is greater power in being content with now and yet be able to hold a vision for the future. It doesn't seem to make sense, but I think being able to simultaneously hold apparently conflicting values/thoughts/feelings is what separates those people from everyone else. And I've said this before, but I'll say it again - I have been so incredibly lucky to have been able to meet with and work with so many of those people.

I am very aware of how people treat me and I realise now that people have always entrusted me with precious things - thoughts, tasks, feelings, objects, etc. It makes me feel so privileged, humbled, respected and cared for. I like that people can feel that way about me. I hope this continues.
