Little Inspirations

I don't know about you, but sometimes I wonder to myself if I'll remember the little things when it's my time to pass from this life to the next. And exactly what little things will I remember? Will I remember the hurt I faced? God, I hope not. What I hope to remember are the little laughs... or the hearty laughs shared with family and friends.

I want to remember the drunken stoopers that cause us to fall to our knees and slam our heads against solid concrete in the Bahamas.

I want to remember the belly laughing virus - you know the one... OH, YOU KNOW! The one where it's not that funny... and days later, you don't really remember what you and your friend were laughing about... But you remember laughing with your friend... 'till it hurt. Until you cried. It's not what you laughed about that mattered. It's the time. It's the joy.

I want to remember walking into the hospital room to see my niece for the first time. I want to remember flying over Vegas at night for the first time. My first real kiss, my first true love, and all the good that surrounds it.

Take the time to solidify that moment into your memory today. Many times I take the time to just say to myself, "Remember this moment. It's one of the important ones." It's not the big moments that make them important... they just have to mean something to you. No regrets.
