Sentimental moments

I had a real sentimental, lump-in-throat moment today, over something quite quite minor.

I was catching the train from Wynyard to Museum via Circular Quay. The train goes through a dark tunnel for a few minutes, so I was just sitting in my seat waiting to get to my stop. Then suddenly, the tunnel ended and the train was plunged into bright, eye-prickling sunlight. And the view from the train really struck me....gorgeous Sydney harbour...the beautiful Opera House- white, majestic and graceful...the sunlight sparkling across the water....it was a lump-in-throat moment. I just felt so blessed to be able to call such a beautiful city home!

I find that such sentimental moments are becoming increasingly common in my older age.

Go figure!
