“Most people miss their whole lives, you know.
Listen, life isn’t when you are standing on top of a mountain looking at a sunset.
Life isn’t waiting at the altar
or the moment your child is born
or that time you were swimming in a deep water and a dolphin came up alongside you.
These are fragments.
10 or 12 grains of sand spread throughout your entire existence.
These are not life.
Life is brushing your teeth
or making a sandwich
or watching the news
or waiting for the bus.
Or walking.
Every day, thousands of tiny events happen
and if you’re not watching,
if you’re not careful,
if you don’t capture them and make them COUNT,
your could miss it.
You could miss your whole life.”
[ Toni Jordan - Addition ]
Yep, life is in the dirty dishes (and there is a pile of happy memories waiting for me in the sink right now).
Ha ha – yeah, I know: I’ll try to make my dusting, vacuuming and sweeping a memorable experience as well
