Meaningful Moments

The crash of a wave, the rip currents strong, my boogie board disappears in the sea foam

A bark, a growl, both sounds come from this dog. Why do these days have to end?

Ice cream is like the antidote to all problems-creamy yet soft, cold, but warm

Crunchy, buttery popcorn melting in my mouth is like maple syrup on pancakes, the topping for a movie

Water skiing is like flying on water with the skis skimming across waves like they aren't there

Creamy cold milk at breakfast is like a rooster calling in the morning

Hot chocolate is like a whole new world, a magical place I've never seen

A blank slate is a new chance, like a whole new beginning

The serene moments when you first go scuba diving are the moments in your life when you realize there are so many things to do in such a short time period

The moment when you realize that you only have one home is the moment after a long plane ride

Swimming in the clear blue unique waters of the Tuscan coast of Forte de Marmi, Italy is heaven on earth

The mask goes on and I descend into the unknown

The sound of my skate scraping as I step out on the smooth hard ice right before a hockey game at Beaver Dam makes me smile

Wet hard packed snow is perfect for snow balls and great for sledding down rolling hills covered in a fresh new coat of white

A movie on a rainy day is like the first snow of the year, always a treat

Halloween night with trick or treaters everywhere welcomes costumes into the dark

Cool crisp wind blowing against your face, while speeding across the green blue water of the Long Island Sound signals the beginning of summer.
