I had a moment on saturday that tells me I am living in the moment more and more. This has been a challenge for me, but when I see things and are able to reflect on them at the moment I see them, I know I am in the moment.
I had got tickets for the Battle of Alberta Game on Saturday night for my youngest son. He is a Calgary Fan and my older son is an Edmonton Fan. As a family we all decided to go to the game together. Before going to the game, we had to stop to pick up some hockey equipment for my younger son who had grown out of some of his equipment. (this is nothing new to people who have kids in sports)
We stopped in at Pro Hockey life and were talking with a few of the sales reps and getting the sizing right. I saw over in the skate section an older gentleman in his 70's and was curious so I took a closer look. This gentleman was in the store with his wife and they were buying her a new pair of skates. Most times I would be wrapped up in my own world and would miss the beauty of this moment.
I thought what an awesome thing, as I imagined the two people out skating together on a rink or pond somewhere out in the country. These are two older people who are enjoying life, and in their 70's, are buying new skates to enjoy time together.
I reflected a little more on what I saw and decided I am going to buy my wife a new pair of skates for her seventieth birthday.
