tasting the goodness

In the past few years, as my body ages and my lifestyle becomes more filled will the care of people, especially our three young children, I get to see fewer and fewer jaw-dropping, panaramic views from mountian tops.  And gone now is my adrenaline-driven teens and twenties.  But I'm learning that this same sense of overwelming joy and amazement doesn't just come with excessive speed, or on a court, or take five hours to get to.  I'm now finding it more easily and daily when I take time to appreciate what I've been given, in the tasting of the deeper meaning, and in feeling that sudden rush of freedom, peace, and contentment that comes only in trusting, safe relationships.  And I'm experiencing that sense of wonder and amazement when I allow myself the realization that I have finally found that long saught-after sweet-spot of living out my destiny.
