The Best Moments

Last night at dinner, my friend Misha told me to clear my mind and tell her the happiest moment of my life - the first happy moment that popped into my mind. I tried to clear my mind into a blank slate and the first thought that came to me was the moment Bert and I got married and the song "The Luckiest" by Ben Folds was playing at the ceremony.

After that, the next memory that popped into my head is when after a heavy rain, there would be a small hole in our yard growing up that would fill with water. My sister, Sara, and I would take our Barbies outside and pretend it was a swimming pool for Barbies.

And so, when I went to lay down last night, I tried it again.

I thought first about the night Bert and I stayed up for hours laughing about the 1980's. We were being silly and remembering all sorts of funny things.

And then I remembered sitting in our backyard playhouse with my sister having meetings. What a simple time.

So to Bert and Sara, thank you for giving me some of the happiest moments of my life.
