So last night, we had a set of about 35 interior doors that absolutely HAD to be finished, so I had the "privilege" of working about thirteen hours with my dad, my brother, and some dude named Rick. Somewhere amidst the haze of fatigue and stain fumes, Shakira came on through my phone (Yes, I listen to music on my phone because my ipod took a trip through the washing machine). It reminded me of a moment of pure bliss that I experienced while in Puerto Rico.
It was at a ward party one evening. Chori Cardona invited everyone to his beach house in Aguada, on the west coast of the island. At this time, our mission president was encouraging us to participate in ward activities and such so, we were there. The whole party was excellent, but there was one moment that struck me as pure bliss and I will never forget. I was sitting in a hammock with a pina buena (one of the best pineapple sodas ever!), swinging slowly back and forth with my eyes closed. There was a very light breeze, just strong enough to keep the temperature comfortable, and the only things I heard were the ocean waves, and a very chill song by Shakira. When I did open my eyes, I saw one of the most gorgeous ocean sunsets I've ever seen! It was definitely one of those moments that I wish I could stretch to last forever.
So, now for some audience participation! In a comment to this post, please explain to me a moment in your life where you've felt the most blissful. I'm excited to see what you all have to say!
(And yes, that picture is actually off the beach in Aguada.)
