In the moment.

She sat there, quiet, with no sound to be heard. The fan was off, her alarm clock wasn't beeping her awake, and the sun wasn't shining directly into her eye to catch a glimmer of her attention. It was midnight, and the only noise to be heard was the humming of her computer and her fingers typing away frantically upon the keyboard. All she could think about was...nothing. Her mind was free of thought. She had no worries, or troubles. Her happiness encircled her. For the first time, she felt that everything was in it's perfect place in her life.

In a flood of panic, she wondered if it was too good to be true. Could this all change in a matter of moments? The truth was, it could, and that terrified her. Her worries and troubles returned, but in a flicker of clarity, she brushed them away. She would savor her current moment with a smile, the cool side of the pillow, and a good night's sleep.
