Seeing the joy on your child’s face when she finally beats you at Candyland (without cheating!).Finding out that your favorite grocery store actually has everything on your list.Learning that a 90-year-old woman survived a serious illness, even though you don’t know her.
MOMENTS IN LIFE HOW TO
Finally figuring out how to set the clock ahead in your car.Discovering that your kids love your favorite childhood cartoon, too!.Hearing your child ask you to read her favorite book because you do the voices just right.Painting your nails by yourself and NOT smudging the heck out of them.
MOMENTS IN LIFE DRIVER
MOMENTS IN LIFE TV
The rush of excitement you feel when your favorite TV show characters kiss for the first time.That accomplished feeling of finishing an entire book in one sitting.Finding that first spring bloom popping out of the soil in your garden.How the whole sky turns orange just before it sets.The silence that comes right before the sun rises.The sound of birds tweeting in the trees.A really good cup of coffee or tea on a brisk spring morning.It would be impossible to list out all those millions of small moments begging to be appreciated, but here are just 20 to get you started. Small moments that are begging you to appreciate them If you’re feeling completely overwhelmed and having a hard time finding joy right now, let me give you a hand. While we’re on lock down, make the most of social isolation and use this time to teach your kids about finding joy in the little things. And on and on (and on), because life has millions of them if you just know how to look. How often do we really celebrate the small moments? Yay, we turned 6! Hooray, we got an 86 on that algebra final! Woohoo, that was an excellent piece of chocolate! Yippee, going on a 6 th date! Congrats on your new kitchen faucet! Way to go on finishing the new Nora Roberts book! Enjoy that extra hour of sleep you’re getting tomorrow.
What are we left with, then, if we can’t properly celebrate all those monumental milestones? How about one of the millions of small moments that truly make our lives meaningful?Ĭelebrate the small moments that make life meaningful Birthday celebrations are put on hold or canceled entirely (my daughter was looking forward to her 5 th birthday party next month, so I know how hard this one is).
Buying that new house? It’ll have to wait, especially if you’re one of the millions who just lost their jobs. Women are laboring alone to keep as many people out of the hospitals as possible. With one-third of humanity currently under lock down and likely remaining so for weeks to come, most of us aren’t able to celebrate those big milestones. Yay, we graduated high school! Hooray, we’re 21! Yippee, getting married! Woohoo, having a baby! Congrats on your new house. We humans have this habit of focusing on the big things and measuring our lives in milestones. Life is Made Up of Millions of Small Moments, So Enjoy Them It’s sad that it took a pandemic to make us appreciate them. See, life is made up of millions of small moments that make it worth living. I’m talking everything from a good cup of coffee made by our favorite barista to the energetic buzz of excitement that rolls across a beach on a warm day.
I’m not just talking about the big things- like teachers or nurses.
If we’ve learned one thing from what’s happening, it’s that we take an awful lot for granted.
