Defining Moments

Every night before you go to sleep, I believe you ought to look at your day and find the "defining moments" - things that you will think about years later, point to, and be able to say, "See that, right there? That part of that day made me, me." Maybe that's why I'm an insomniac. Ahh, anyway...

I don't even have to wait until bedtime to find mine for today (no, I'm not telling you what it is - if you know, then, well, you know - if you don't, tough nuts). I can't really say things "changed" drastically today - they didn't - but there was definite understanding achieved, smoke was cleared, and life's grand.

To that end, I'm going to do something that I normally try to avoid on this blog. I have the distinct impression that posting lyrics on a blog are "emo" for some reason, and I'm desperately trying to shake that moniker. Regardless, here they are. Small Wonders by Rob Thomas - a song that I think reflects the defining moments way of living life to a "tee":

Let it go,
Let it roll right off your shoulder
Don't you know
The hardest part is over
Let it in,
Let your clarity define you
In the end
We will only just remember how it feels

Our lives are made
In these small hours
These little wonders,
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away,
But these small hours,
These small hours still remain

Let it slide,
Let your troubles fall behind you
Let it shine
Until you feel it all around you
And i don't mind
If it's me you need to turn to
We'll get by,
It's the heart that really matters in the end

Our lives are made
In these small hours
These little wonders,
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away,
But these small hours,
These small hours still remain

All of my regret
Will wash away some how
But i can not forget
The way i feel right now

In these small hours
These little wonders
These twists & turns of fate
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away but these small hours
These small hours, still remain,
Still remain
These little wonders
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away
But these small hours
These little wonders still remain
