Nothing like trying to live in the moment. How easy to forget. Watch any Olympic event... and see how splitting nano-minute decisions can change fate. I'm trapped in a snowstorm, tethered to my cell phone. I have a disagreement. It seems like major "life, location, future" decision has to be made today. Making these eggs has become harder and harder. Enjoying a snowstorm seems impossible. UNLESS... unless I live in the moment. The cats, popcorn, music, one green plastic egg, a sharpie. Still, even still I can feel afraid of the future.
