Recently I have been caught up in a massive personal project creating my Vision Book. It includes my 40 Before 40 list as well as my Life Bucket List. Well this morning I was sitting with my daughter and I realized that it doesn't matter how many truly awesome and inspiring things I do and want to do if I don't remember those everyday moments. For example, this morning my daughter and I were drinking tea and hot cocoa on the floor while watching the Disney film The Aristocats. Before that we sat and read a couple of stories (well I read because she is 4 and can't read yet). She sat in my lap and listened and was so excited. It was a moment of realization for me. I will continue to work on my Vision Book, but I must stop every now and then and relish in those everyday moments that make up life.
The everyday moments of life, much like the Everyday Awesomeness of God that I wrote about in my last post, are what get us through life. They take us from minute to minute, hour to hour, day to day, month to month, and year to year. Everyday moments can sneak up on you when you least expect it. Some of these moments hit you right in the face. Whether you create these moments intentionally or these moments just create themselves, always keep them close to your heart.
