I read something once along the lines of life being about the moments. You know, the moments make up the hours, which make up the days, which make up your life… I believe this, and now that I have a child (aka the Toddler Tornado), it’s even more true. Each day is a whirlwind of moments that have passed me by before I’ve even had a chance to savor them! Some are good, and some aren’t as fun, but this is IT. This is life. We’re in it right this moment. It reminds me of another quote that I love: “Enjoy the little things in life, because one day, you’ll look back and realize they were the big things.” Take a peek at the little/big things that have kept me smiling recently, and remember… enjoy this moment!
