Small moments matter

find a turtle in your life today

Sometimes..... all it takes is finding a turtle in your front lawn to make you happy!

We all go through ups and downs, high moments and low moments.  We often celebrate the great victories as we over come our challenges and obstacles.

But remember, sometimes it is just the small moments in life which really matter most.  I don't remember my last great victory in business....but I'll remember how happy my daughter was when right before a rain storm, she found a turtle making its way across our lawn to the lake behind the house!    This is a 'little moment' which certainly lifts my spirit even more than winning a challenge in business!

Celebrate your small moments today!  And feel free to share them with me - so I can rejoice with you and smile with you as well!

One can always make more money.....we can't always get the time back for moments such as these.

Make it a GREAT day in every moment.....

Richard - enjoy this precious time - I can tell you from expericence that being close with them when they're young makes a big difference when you're trying to talk to a sullen, moody teenager.

Jesse - too funny - I thought this picture was YOU - but when I clicked on your profile...I realize this must be the sullen moody teenager your referenced!    I too have one of those now 13!

Richard,

I have one much like yours, she just turned 8 years last month. Every day is packed with moments that you wish you had you camera on standby.

Thanks Benjamin!  I know how you feel - I wish my eyes and ears could function like a camcorder - there are so many moments I wish I could record for ever!  But they usually happen with such impromptu that you never are ready to catch them!
