Many of us have made our way home for the holidays. For me, I travel from a seemingly small college town to my metropolis hometown. The differences between the two cities produce appreciation. I appreciate the smooth driving conditions of good ole Tuscaloosa, but I appreciate the variety of attractions and the people-watching outings that Atlanta offers.

Within all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, there is that moment; that moment when you feel as though the world slows down and the introspection of your thoughts are exposed. Your thoughts seem as if they are being read aloud, but there is no worry about exposure because of the pure cheerfulness behind them.

My cheerfulness is derived from family, friends, and the experiences I have learned from.

I had “that moment” while I was unloading the dishwasher three days before Christmas when my sister started a LIVE video stream on Instagram. She cranked some tunes and my entire family started dancing in the kitchen while our friends commented of their jealousy of our family’s silly bond. While dancing to “Juju On That Beat”, I caught myself being more aware of my euphoric surroundings. I made sure I would remember this moment forever. This moment of carefree love of family bondage. It was what most people call “A Kodak Moment”.

The featured picture above is the place where this moment happened. I hope to have more moments like this in life. I challenge you to find more "Kodak Moments" in life.
