Our lives are made up of moments that can pass without recognition in a blink of an eye. Everyone has moments in their lives that shape who they are today.

My moments include:

Summer sun, sand and salt of Long Island beaches
An empty college dorm room 494 miles away from home
Summer sun, sand and 7-11s of Daytona Beach
Boarding a plane to a new duty station and that pivotal point midflight when the sadness of leaving shifts to the excitement of arriving
Trouncing through the snow with Bill thinking, "I am going to marry this guy"
Getting engaged a few years later on the Eibsee. And marrying him.
The first time I held my newborn daughter . . . and every single day after

This is my quick list and I wonder what my family and friends would say my moments were. What am I forgetting or selectively ignoring?

What are your moments?
