Every once in a while when it is least expected, you have an “aha” moment. It is easy not to be receptive to them.  There are so many fascinating distractions in our lives that keep us in the game, they often go undetected.

They occur during the quiet and relaxing moments when we are still and the mind is blank and you suddenly see, hear or read something.  You sit back and say “aha”.  It happened to me this weekend while we were out boating, launched on a beach observing “the summer plunge”.  I thought of how much we complicate our lives with “things” and “over analysis” when what we need to be doing is to get back to the basics– climbing, jumping and cannonball diving.  I know it sounds simple but, of course, the best things in life are.   When you hear the unbridled laughter, the frantic race out of the water, the climbing and camaraderie, you get it.  The boundless energy and uncomplicated life of youth is always worth recapturing.
