Perfect Moment Monday: Counterbalance

Perfect Moment Monday is about noticing a perfect moment rather than creating one. Perfect moments can be momentous or ordinary or somewhere in between.

We gather once a week to engage in mindfulness about something that is right with our world. Everyone is welcome to join. Details on how to participate are at the bottom of this post, complete with bloggy bling.

Please visit the links of the participants at the bottom.

Here's a perfect moment from my week. I hope you'll share yours, too.
====================================
This is my live-in-the-moment daughter, Tessa. In her new Halloween wig. Several weeks before Halloween.
I give her roots; she gives me wings. Every once in awhile I notice how perfect this is.
====================================
To participate in Perfect Moment Monday:
  1. Between Sunday night and Tuesday night, write up your own Perfect Moment in a blog post, on Twitter, on Facebook, or simply leave a comment below.
  2. Grab the URL of your Perfect Moment.
  3. Use MckLinky below to enter your (or your blog's) name and the URL of your Perfect Moment
  4. Visit the Perfect Moments of others (from the links below), and let the writers know you were there.
Once you make a Perfect Moment post , you may place this button on your blog.

What Perfect Moment have you recently been aware of? Be sure to visit these moments and share the love, and
please come back next week (click to subscribe).

That's a great wig!

We all need someone to give us wings... and roots, too, come to think of it. I love your Tessa stories.

It looks like you're raising Cher.
Cher with wings. I hope she wears that wig from now until November.

LOL, Robin -- if Cher had purple hair! (Which I'm sure she has had).

Kristin said...

What a fabulous wig! Where can I get one?

Sheri said...

Tessa is quite a free spirit. I like her purple hair...and her spirit...and her wings!

Delenn said...

I love Halloween! It is so much fun for them! Love the picture of her skipping!

I love it!! She looks so joyful! Happy Halloween, dear Tessa! I hope you get lots of candy in your incredible new wig!

Jamie said...

I don't know what I like best - the purple wig or your comment about how you give Tessa roots and she gives you wings. It makes me laugh and cry at the same time!

If we could all remember how to be childlike more often.

To be a kid again. Lovely moment.I still have an Elvira wig. That thing got a lot of use later on at theme parties.

JW Moxie said...

Don't you wish that we could all hold on to that completely unrestrained spirit of self-expression that kids have? Love it!

Bonnie said...

You can just tell from the picture how much she loves that purple hair! I bet she will always remember it.

That is some great hair! Is there a costume that goes with it, or is it just going to be about the hair?

When I was pregnant, my neighbor told me that all I had to do was give my child roots and wings and everything would work out great. I'm trying my best...

Furrow said...

It's a good look for her!

Find that balance can be so difficult sometimes. Sounds like you guys have it down pretty well. :)
