Seize The Moment

I was driving home on US 1 along the Indian River the other day when I noticed traffic backed up on my usual turn down Malabar Road. I decided to continue south on the more scenic route and possibly beat the train that was stalling traffic. When, I came upon my next turn, the sight of a colorful parasail coasting along the river caught my attention. I thought about stopping on the roadside to watch the parasurfer, but was in a hurry to get home. I turned down the street and was stopped by the blinking lights of the railroad crossing. I did not beat the train. So, there I sat watching at least a hundred freight cars go by when I could have been enjoying the view of a beautiful parasail gliding in the wind. Next time, I will stop and seize the moment.
