Every Moment Matters

Today, in one of my daily readings, contained in this book by Cyndie Spiegel, gifted to me by a good friend, this quote, below, stood out to me and rings so true.  Especially now, I find the most precious moments in the in-between, ordinary moments.

“Every moment matters — not just the big ones, but also the small ones, the seemingly irrelevant ones and the quiet ones.  All of these moments add up to a life well lived.  Don’t take the presumably unimportant moments for granted.  Look for them and treasure them instead.  Listen for the words unspoken.  Notice the quick glance.  Feel the soft touch.  The long-held hugs.  The sadness.  The graciousness.  The in-between.  The magical sweet spots between tiny and massive moments are your life.  Don’t forget to pay attention to them.  In the end, that is really all we have.”
