Sometimes in the midst of our busy lives we lose track of the simple treasures in life. A smile exchanged on the sidewalk with a stranger, laughter shared with friends, smelling the fresh air after a rainstorm. As the 85-year-old Nadine Stair put it, I’ve had my moments, and if I had it to do it over again, I’d have more of them. In fact, I’d try to have nothing else. Just moments, one after another.

Think of your last week. Looking back, where do you see opportunities to enjoy the moment? Jot down the possibilities you realize now. Look at your list. Is there a common theme? Is it time to re-connect with a friend? Time to get out those inline skates that are sitting in your garage? Time to jump over a big puddle. What will you do today to simply enjoy the moment.

I am creating a list of 1000 moments of Joy. Would you like to add yours?
