 Everlasting Moments

     "Everlasting Moments" - it’s the title of a beautiful Swedish movie that stole my attention at the library and I have a feeling the story will affect many of my posts. I started thinking about this first day of a brand new 2015 and I realized that even if we don’t create tangible things, we all create moments and memories. Every moment recorded in the history of our hearts (or sometimes on paper) forever and we can never change them. It’s funny to think of regular mundane days as memorable but we can change the course of the day with small thing, small steps. It doesn't take much to change the course of the day and create in some way. Of course, it depends on your interest, time limit or ability but you can even draw a picture, pick a flower or dance to a song; and a beautiful memory is created. It even becomes more special if you share it with others or if it’s record it electronically or on paper.
    Life is made up of moments even if we have to wait for them sometimes. Just think of ways that your life changed dramatically: the moment you met someone, said something, gave birth to your child, received an acceptance letter or even made a decision to buy something. Sometimes we don’t have control over every memory so let’s do the best with what we can. May this year we live free with no regrets with beautiful memories!
