I think you have to be aware of special moments and experiences to have inner stories. I see so many people running from one new thing to another without really enjoying that "new thing." It is easy to get caught up in trying to keep up - with all the marketing showing us those happy people with the new car, new baby, new house, etc..
But true happiness and a fulfilling life is more about enjoying moments and interaction with others - regardless of where they live, what their families look like or how nice their home is.
Happy New Year - find meaning in the little things.
My 81-year dash has taught me much. I’m grateful for the teachers, the opportunities to separate wheat from chaff, for my teaching career and students who also taught me some self-mastery. Most gratitude to my parents for life, ancestors for the blood memories, authors who inspired me, and this democracy and land I love.
WatchbJessica Denson, “Ligyts On,” YouTube for the action Jan. 4-5 in D.C. to get Congress to abort Trump’s inauguration: Amendment 14, Section 3. It’s happening. Also am Online component. Register your protection of Democracy. Trump cheated at least two ways: false “challenges” to mostly brown and black registered voters; deep data manipulation of “bullrt ballots” via Musk’s two crashed election satellites. There was a reason Trump said tree times “I don’t need your votes.”
The dash indeed is what matters most. Seek to have many meaningful moments and you will have a meaningful life. #DareToBeVital
exactly!
Thank you so much, Samantha. Your wise words always make me stop and reflect..
Thank you!

Yes - we all have to be deliberate about delight hunting for the little things!

I love the two parts to your post. Thinking about the what of the last year is very important. The poem about the dash is moving. Thank you for both♥️
I'm glad you enjoyed - happy new year!
