...I am sitting under a star studded night, enjoying a cool breeze wafting over my skin, listening to the spray of a water fountain in the small lake, the streetlights glowing a soft light on the cobbled roadway as I take in the steady, but unhurried pace of life this evening at Disney's Saratoga Springs in Florida. { I thought I should add a note to clarify why I titled this "relishing the moments", or perhaps I should have titled it "choosing to relish the moment". As I wrote this, I was sitting in a car waiting on a food order after a long day with crabby kids squabbling over side-long glances, boundary lines and imagined wrongs.
