These Are the Moments: A Day in the Life Sunday

/

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?

The Best Way To Read Online

The best way to read online is not to visit your favorite blogs or websites daily to check for updates. The best way to read online is to have your favorite sources delivered directly to you.

If you are visiting sites or trolling your social networks in search of updates, stop that right now. You have better things to do with your time. You can subscribe to have updates delivered to your to reader via RSS or sign-up to have an email delivered to your inbox. You get to decide how you want your news delivered to you. 

Both are free.  

I started using Google Reader for fun in January 2007 when I was following six blogs. Now, with over 150 blogs and websites followed, a reader is a necessity.

Find your favorite reads, pick a newsreader or subscribe by email, and be sure to never miss an update. Google Reader will be retired on July 1 so you should download your reader data now or lose it forever. 

Thank you for reading along with me each week. I am all about easy so if you are not yet using a reader or email to keep up with me, subscribe now or sign up to receive weekly email updates.
