I am becoming more and more aware these days – of the importance of – ‘moments’ – in my life – for truly – “The best things in life – aren’t things – they are moments”.

I treasure those moments – the times when I get to enjoy the closeness of special people in my life – share our lives together – for – much as I do love and value my own space – there is nothing like being with those who make me feel loved and cared for – to quote – “Sometimes – the best things in life – are not things at all – but people – who make you feel loved and cared for”.

They are the ones who make my life special – those with whom I can be myself – the ones who give me time – to make those moments – that play such an important part in helping me to be more true – to who I am.

And the wonderful thing about it is – that these times can be just that – ‘moments’ – snatches taken out of the day – brief moments spent – often not even needing words – but allowing that connection to form and develop – to become something special.

Such times – such moments – can so easily be missed – as someone once said – “Life is made up of special moments which make it worth living. There are many cherished moments that are missed – due to the stress and fast pace of daily living. We must slow down – and remember – how precious it is – to be alive – and to love”.

I want to collect ‘moments’ – not ‘things’ – in my life – for they are what is important to me

For – “The little things – the little moments – aren’t little – they are your life” – they are actually ‘big’ things – in fact – my life would be so much less – if it were not for those moments. They actually make up my life – they are the things I hold close to my heart – the things that make me a better person – help me grow – and encourage me.

There have always been those special ‘moments’ in my life – but life is a journey – I move onwards – I change – and it’s important to me – that I go on – creating those ‘moments’ – adapting to the circumstances that I find myself in – immersing myself in the moment – and cherishing each one – for – “The most treasured gifts – are the wonderful moments we create with the people we love – they become priceless momories – decorating our lives”
