I am feeling the moments

I am creating moments of joy without realizing it. Sometimes I think deeply about the past, and sometimes I cry because I realize that the bittersweet memory I’m having was taken for granted when it was created. It’s funny how moments we take for granted are destined to be the most important moments that are often played over and over again in the movie of our mind. I used to have a dog named Bella who was with me for 16 years. Bella gave me joy I did not know I needed, Bella also gave me pain that helped me to grow. Somehow love is not really love until you feel the loss. Losing love should not harden one’s heart but, instead, allow compassion to grow.
