Quote

While I was at the dollar store last week I found this quote on a plaque; "Life is not a matter of milestones, but of moments". I bought it and it's now covering the hole in my wall but today I got to thinking how profound this quote is. Sometimes people (myself included) stumble through life just wanting to get to those milestones; becoming a teenager, turning sixteen, turning eighteen, graduation from high school, moving out, getting into and graduating from univeristy of college, getting married, having a family, ect. But do we really enjoy the small moments in life? I try to but, with most things in life, don't always succeed. But looking through old pictures and reflecting I realize that there were so many moments in my life that weren't really all that important but memories none the less. Stuff like being put into a giant pillar while we were decorating for grad, and tripping over my own feet at Julianna's and ending up on the floor in laughter. Things like that are so important to life but often overlooked. So I guess the reason for my speel  today is that I need to slow down, you only live life once so live in the moment and make the best of it :).
