A friend recommended the book, Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer. I read it over the weekend and it was, well, disturbing, tremendous and provocative all at the same time. It's pretty overwhelming.

This quote appears in the first chapter. It actually belongs to Foer's dad but the context is more important than the ownership. Foer's dad said this to him when his son was born. He was conveying the feeling that there was an incredible future ahead. A chance to rectify old regrets or teach lessons that were never taught. Another opportunity to be someone for someone else. The rolling sensation that your life's path is now altered forever -- and for the better.

I have no idea what that feels like but I'd like to hijack that line and use it for other smaller victories.

When is the last time you had a moment like that? When you felt like everything was possible again?
