I’m sitting in my home office writing for next week (which is technically “this week” when you read this), and my two year-old daughter just ran by like ET with her hands over her head and my 10 year-old golden retriever was galloping behind her like a very uncoordinated horse. Really, that just happened two minutes ago, and I skipped to Thursday’s non-business post so I could capture it.
As I get closer to 50 than 40, I’m starting to understand and feel that a great life is full of moments like this – moments that capture your inner child, moments that mean nothing but touch everything inside you, moments that turn into memories that’ll bring tears to your eyes at birthdays, graduations and weddings. I don’t know about you, but I get so wrapped up in my daily goals that I sometimes miss those moments. I’m 100 times better at embracing these moments than I was 20 years ago, but I’m still not very good at it… and what else is there, really?
You’re probably reading this on Thursday, so most of the week is behind you. This is a perfect time to think about embracing the special moments in your life. I’ve already started.
