The Best Moments
The best moments are not always the big ones. The best moments are the ones you look back at remember, smile, laugh and cry about. The moments when you are doing nothing, really seem to be the best moments. When you are lying on the couch as your mom yells to you. “Broccoli Soup for Diner” Thinking to yourself I HATE broccoli and I HATE soup. The nasty aroma fills the house. As the broccoli soup sits there like gross green gunk in the shiny silver bowl. Then you pause as you realize you’re having dinner tonight, tomorrow and the next day. So you stop and think again about a girl or a boy down the road who might be dying for that broccoli soup, who might be dying for a mother who cooks dinner every night. . Then suddenly your world feels perfect because you realize you have all you need. You listen to your sister singing into a spoon in the kitchen only dreaming to one day be a star. She prances around the kitchen floor leaping about without a worry in the world. The song comes to the end. She runs as fast as fox hunting for their prey and jumps in the air. She lands with a loud thump on the wood floor. Without missing a beat she picks herself up finishing her marvelous melody. You sit there smiling because you know deep, deep, deep down somewhere you really do love that kid. She really does mean the world to you. You open your bedroom door and listen to her break out into song . Why?, because she is your sister. She is just a girl who has dreams bigger then the world and goals big enough to circle around the universe. Then you watch your dad’s car pull into the driveway as he slams the car door closed. His face looks frustrated, puzzled and confused after a long rough day. But, he quickly smiles as you tap twice on the window and his face lights up. You run to the front door so fast to give him the biggest hug on the planet just, just because you love him. Just because you know he got in the car today to go to work for you. You know he worked hard today
for your family. You know he is going to worry tonight when he goes to bed about what they next day will bring. So you stand there hugging him as your body slowly becomes warm. His arms wrapped around you so tight like glue. You know you are safe, you know that you’re right where you are meant to be. Listening to your sister’s (fabulous) singing, waiting for the hot dinner that your mother spent time to prepare, nestled in your dad’s arms. That moment, those moments are truly the best. The unplanned Tuesday nights when your family all comes together. Finally the night ends with your mom rushing to set the table, with a SURPLUS of food she prepared. The food taste fabulous, because the people you are with are ones that make the meal. You know you are the luckiest girl in the world and nothing will every change that. Any moment planned or un-planned is the best when it is shared with the people you love the most.

To enjoy reading and to be happy when I pick up a book. To learn how to stop fake reading. ( making connections to my own life and forgetting about the book and reading ) When reading out loud adding emotion and tone to my voice.
