Golden Pockets Of Blissful Time: What are yours?

“Time is a gentle God” ~ Sophocles

Time can be a gentle God, depending on how we are spending it.

It’s amazing when we are doing something we truly enjoy, time just flies. We are in the moment, joy-filled, and not a care in the world. Wouldn’t it be nice if more of our time was spent in this state?

Last night’s post on what our “warm milk” comforts of joy got me thinking…. When am I the happiest? What am I doing? Who am I with? What am I thinking about? Where am I?

I call these times my golden pockets of bliss.

For example:

I am sitting on our living room couch. My cat Mew is sitting next to me. I have my books, journal, and newspaper close by. I am sipping on my cup of coffee, tea, or glass of wine. I am gazing out at our quaint view of our trees, birdfeeder, garden, and pond in the back of our property… this is a golden pocket of blissful time….
Or, I am taking a walk in the evening when the moon is full. Bliss…
I am writing an article for The Warm Milk Journal….I am creative and inspired… bliss…
I am in the arms of my fiancé enveloped in love and intimacy. Bliss…
I make a connection with a student… bliss

You get the idea. What are your golden pockets of blissful times?

How can you get more of these times in your life? Can you let go of some things that keep you from your golden pockets? Life is precious. It goes by quickly. How do you want to live it?
