No Guarantees

"Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory." - Dr. Seuss

There are many moments of my life that I wish I had cherished more while they were happening - time spent with friends and loved ones, big wins, small victories, belly laughs, and comforting hugs.

In hindsight, I can see how special these flickers of time truly were. I've been thinking about this a lot recently.

We are not guaranteed time on this earth.

We are not guaranteed clear memories of the life we have already lived.

What we are guaranteed is this moment right now.

It's so simple...and so challenging...to be right here and right now. But just like anything else, I think we can practice.

So let's not wait until tomorrow to realize how special our lives are.

Let's not wait to cherish the people in our lives.

Let's not wait to soak in the laughter and the smiles and the sun and the sky.

Let's value the moments IN the moment.
