“We don’t remember days,
we remember moments.”
~Cesare Pavese
This is the time of year when we see moments more clearly, as we cherish the holiday season and our time with friends and family. Perhaps one of the things that makes this time of year so magical is that, instead of counting days, we accumulate memorable moments that will last for years to come. Several years from now, when we look back at this season, we aren’t likely to say: “Remember that December seventeenth when we….” Instead, we might say something like, “Remember when we made those cookies and the frosting turned out khaki-colored?”
Your Turn: During the holiday season, it is easy to focus on moments rather than days. Use this time of year to practice your “moment recognition.” Try to carry this ability into next year, capturing the wonderful, magic moments offered by each day of our lives.

And as always, don’t forget to start your day with a heartfelt: “Something great is going to happen today… I can’t wait to see what it is!”
And when ending your day ask yourself: “What is one more thing I can do to make today matter?”
