I was walking home from a meeting tonight and passed a young, married couple walking their dog. My initial thought was, "Oh, I miss that." But happily, I let myself think a few minutes longer and remembered that actually, being newly married wasn't so awesome either: the first year or two was getting used to being married and buying a house and the next year or two was trying to get pregnant. It's only in the looking back, that the hand-holding, dog walking looks so ideal. At the time, it felt empty and difficult and often useless.
About a car length later I realized, I'm terrible at Living In The Moment.
I think I'll think about that. Writing seems unlikely tonight, but I thought I should point this out to myself.
