Moments Matter

Hi everyone! I’m Sherry Douglas with Heart-Song. Thank you for all the kind messages sent wishing us wellness and health. The kindness talked about last week was extended beyond measure. It truly impacted us.

As our health has improved this last week, again we’ve become aware of the importance of being grateful for each day. Last Thursday we shared a post that said, “You will get there. Until then, be here. This moment matters.” This moment matters! What a simple, yet meaningful concept. Whatever is going on in life, the very moment you’re living right now matters.

The milestone moments we all experience seem to ingrain themselves on our minds and hearts. I clearly remember the days each of our children were born and also when I said goodbye to each one on their first day of kindergarten. Those moments matter. However, I also remember sitting at dinner with all of them talking about our everyday lives that didn’t have milestone moments, but recognizing that those moments matter, too.

Sometimes we think the milestone moments are the only ones that matter, but we invest much more of our time in the moments of routine, responsibilities, and completing daily tasks – often boring tasks. These moments matter, too.

It’s about attitude. It’s about being grateful for the ordinary day. It’s about appreciating the simple parts of life. This very moment matters.

Live the way you want to be remembered.
