Moments of Clarity

1. The moment in which you know that you must eat lunch outside, because there may never be another day like today.
 
2. The moment in which you realize that the job you do doesn't necessarily have to change the world. It just shouldn't change it for the worse.
 
3. The moment in which you are able to help a friend figure out how to say something coherently, even though you can't even decide what to make for dinner.
 
4. The moment in which you discover something about your own writing while editing someone else's. 

5. The moment in which you figure out some of your own dreams by supporting someone else's.
 
6. The moment in which you begin to understand that being a responsible human being doesn't make you responsible for every single thing anyone does around you.
 
7. The moment in which you can feel that people are on your side, even when it sometimes feels as though they are coming at you from all sides.
 
8. The moment in which you realize that even if where you are might not be as good as where you thought you'd be, it's a whole lot better than where you were.
 
Thank goodness for moments of clarity in an often fuzzy-headed life!
