Michael S. Purcell

Thrilled.
Playing with a sparkler at 4th of July, some forty years ago was thrilling. Each time you'd get one lit, you'd hold it in amazement, in AWE. It was alive. Alive With Energy. Buzzing. Vibrating. You didn't know how long it would burn, but you didn't care, you just enjoyed it while it lasted. Waving it around, watching the light-trails your mind's eye would make. Drawing with the white-bright sparkler against the dark, wide summer's night sky; making designs, signing your name, writing stuff, like "I Love ____".
Maybe you got to light another one; you would touch your burning tip to the cold tip of a new sparkler and for a couple of seconds there was that burst of energy when both tips would be burning together. Thrilling.
That same thrill can still be felt, achieved, brought back today, by simply living in the now and JOYfully experiencing the present as a present, as a gift of LIFE. Experiences create bonds. Experiences make memories. Living Is For Experiences. Just Open Yourself.
I have actively been trying to live in the now, and to practice what I preach. I had held myself back for so many years, simply by letting my regrets, resentments, and the rehashing of events over and over in my mind keep me from actually moving forward on anything or with my life.
Living in the now frees me from reliving the past and loosens the grip of worry for the future. I still plan for tomorrow, it's just not driven by doubt anymore, but by love, hope and me.
I want to thank all those that have touched my life; for your life spark touched my life in a way that burned it into my memories.
I, in turn, hope that my spark touches your life and ignites new, thrilling experiences.
Thank You.
