Random Good #12 - Catching Something Right as it Falls


Once in a while a situation occurs where you are doing something routine, such as eating dinner or reaching for an item at a store. Everything's going fine until you knock the item over, and it falls over, usually to the floor.

This often ends up in disaster and cleanup, but sometimes, you flex your catlike reflexes and you quickly snatch the object out of the air before anything bad happens. You beam with pride for a few seconds and marvel at your quickness. You averted a minor crisis while also proving to yourself that you are pretty coordinated. This situation brings a feeling of accomplishment, happiness, and satisfaction. For a few moments, you feel almost, superhuman...

Of course, you return to normal life and realize you're slow and you suck, but that moment is still fun.
