A Followers Submission: A Reassuring Moment

I love getting other people's Moments! Enjoy this great one: I bought our house from a couple who raised their family in it. They continued to live in the neighborhood so I wanted to make sure anytime they saw the house, they were happy with their decision to seek it to us. I got hurt …

Take the Time

Sometimes, I’m super busy at work. Sometimes I’m REALLY super busy at work. Actually, I’m always REALLY super busy, who am I kidding? Anyways, when people come in to pick things up, I usually hope it’ll be a quick encounter, not because I want to be rude or rush someone, but because I’m REALLY super …

Moment of Pride

I have always tried to live as a proud American. I respect our Flag and everyone who fought for our freedoms. It was always my hope that I would be able to instill this into my children while still letting them have their own opinions and beliefs. But, my daughter took me by surprise and …

Making a Child Smile

This is a Moment I got to witness: A little girl was at her eye doctors office getting her exam. After her exam, she came downstairs with her sister, mother, and the doctor. It was her birthday and the doctor was trying to round every employee up to sing happy birthday. Some employees were busy …

1 Moment Changes an Outlook on the Future

Very simple and short Moment today. I have raised my children to be respectful and polite. At least, that’s what I think/hope 😉 Today, I was reassured I’m doing part of that lesson right.

Often times, we have Moments in our day that we get used to. We get ready for work, drive to the store, and relax at home. While these Moments may not have meaning at their core because, let’s be honest, how meaningful can brushing your teeth be (besides having excellent oral hygiene), but the process …

Act Upon Those Moments of a Fleeting Thought

Often times when a person is going through a hard time, we’re not sure what to say or do. We know we want to do something, but are unsure what’s appropriate. I know I feel this way constantly. “Should I text them?” “Should I call them?” “Should I visit?” Even though I struggle with these …

Strangers Can Be Good People

Taking a two year old to busy places is like playing with fire: you might be fine and you might get burned. Taking a two year old to the Apple store after a huge new iPhone release is like playing with fire, while in the fire pit, covered in gasoline: you WILL get burned. Yes, …

1 Meaningful Moment

Today was the day I got the inspiration for this project. This was the 1 Meaningful Moment that inspired it all: I sat down to lunch in a diner down the street from my work. I’m a frequent flyer so the waitresses know me by name. Some of the customers do too. As I sat …
