A couple of nights ago my friends and I went out to a club for a couple drinks. I drive so all I was drinking was water, but I prefer being sober when I go out so everything was good. They ended up having more then a couple of drinks and soon we were all dancing like fools. By the time 2am rolled around I was exhausted; the bar was closing and my friends were starting to really feel the drinks. I grabbed my coat, said my goodbyes and made my way to my car. As I was walking it started snowing; not a harsh cold snow, but a light gentle snow that was absolutely beautiful. I had parked a few streets away from the bar so I had a about a ten minute walk ahead of me, but with the snow and lack of wind I didn't mind one bit. I passed Victoria Park, which is the park in the middle of downtown. It was my first time seeing it this holiday season and the lights on all the trees was breath taking. It looked like a scene from a movie.
I was in such a euphoric mood that instead of heading straight to my car and going home I decided to walk through the park for a bit (I was alone and it was 2am, so in retrospect it might not have been the safest of ideas, but that's okay). I couldn't help but smile as I walked. It was such a peaceful moment, it just felt right; like everything in life was going to work out fine. I realized that I might have looked a little crazy, walking alone at night with a huge smile on my face, but that just made me laugh, which deffinitely reinforced the crazy aspect...
I can't remember a time I felt so completely and truly content. All my worries from the day floated away, as cheesy as that sounds they really did, it was a magical walk. However, after about 15 minutes the cold started to catch up with my and I decided I should be heading home.
I wanted to share this night with the world. I wanted friends and family and strangers to experience this with me. But I know that it wouldn't have been the same with others there. So my hope for them, since they couldn't be there with me on that night, is that they have a moment like that of their own. A moment when they are at perfect bliss with their lives. I think everyone needs that.
Good luck in finding your own 'blissful night'. I hope it happens soon, I really do.
