30 Day Blog Challenge - Day 14

Describe the last moment you felt really, truly blissful

I wrote a blog on March 19, 2011 (read here) about a day when I was really happy. At the time I wrote that blog, I had finished a book about the ten best days of your life.  So, that was my day 4 (I've yet to finish that challenge by the way). But, that's definitely a day I remember being truly happy.  

However, two years ago this Thanksgiving, I went to Chicago with some friends. We were standing at the Navy Pier and it was pretty windy and cool (my perfect temperature). I just stood at the edge of the pier with my eyes closed smelling the lake and letting the breeze hit my face.  At that moment in time, I was so happy to be standing in that exact spot that I started crying.  I felt like if I stood there long enough that all of my problems and questions would be answered.  I think we stood there for maybe five minutes.  But, in that five minutes every care and concern I had seemed to go away.
