Moments that Matter

Planning to choose some I’d like to practice:

Early-morning ideas are sometimes a flash of inspiration; make note and/or act before they are lost.

When introduced to someone, let the name sink in for ten seconds before moving on.

Stop and notice a sunrise or sunset in its glory before it fades.

Take a minute to kindly reply to a text message.  

Keep hydrated as needed (4 or 6 seconds).

Turn the TV off.  Choose a good book.

Put down your phone where you will find it.

Self-talk, “I can do this.”

Manage “senior moments” and good music with unlimited Internet access on a phone.

Say a little prayer for someone in need. 

Write a quick journal note for posterity.

Be grateful for moments that matter. 

Remember: life is good … with love.
