savor the moment

To savor is to give oneself to the enjoyment of...and a moment is the present time or any other particular time.

Let me just say one thing about myself, I get very excited over the smallest of things....so when something big and exciting happens or is going to happen, I am extremely excited. I mean I am talking I count down the hours and even minutes until the event has arrived.

My aunt Terri and I watch the show So You Think You Can Dance. Although she lives 3 hours away, that does not stop us from chatting about our dance show. Text messages and Emails and Instant Messages are sent the WHOLE time the show is on (most of the time) and then there after.... Even messages that say three simple letters like OMG come across our phones and computers. One day, close to the finale this past season, Terri sent me a text saying Merry Christmas, check your email. The email said that she got tickets for the So You Think You Can Dance Tour ! She told me about the tickets in August...and the show wasn't until November 12, 2008 @ 7pm (yes, I remember the specifics, too!) and the very day she told me, I began counting down the days and later hours until it was time for our show....
As you can tell, I was SO excited. I don't even think the word excited explains it...it was beyond excitement. The day of the show, all day at school, I could not keep my eyes off the clock. Finally it came down to it. The show began, and we had such a good time. It was better than I could have EVER imagined. I will never forget it....

A few days after the show, someone asked me, "Well, what do you have to look forward to now?" I didn't really respond, but I was thinking, what don't I have to look forward to now? I had the time of my life. I will savor the moment.

I will give myself to the enjoyment of the particular time. Savor the moment.
