Moments Matter

The best moments are found in gems. Those unexpected treasures we encounter and learn from.

Recently while shopping a guy zipped past… We were in the same aisle and though I could reach the taller shelves, he was much faster. In this instance – he clearly had the advantage.  ..His wheelchair was no hindrance.

Here was a man with zeal. His energy told the story… A gratitude for life. I watched in admiration, thinking of the times I’d taken so many things for granted.

But this was my gem
Live a life of gratitude.

Indeed, we have so much to be grateful for.
