Moments...

I have to have a first blog post, and this is short, so here it is...

Life is a series of moments.  I vaguely remember having heard that somewhere before.  It may have been in a movie, or something my mom said, or a fortune cookie.  The point is that it's so true.  Lately my life has changed so much, and that's definitely a great thing.  I look back and if I really analyze it, I can identify certain moments that were AH-HAH moments, where it was the catalyst. Big things, like when I got offered a promotion, or took a risk and gave my heart to somebody...

In reality though, there are so many small things that contributed to who I am today.  Like the first time I said hello to a stranger at a coffee shop, and now that stranger is somebody that I just can't picture my life without.  Or when I helped calm down a hysterically crying girl who now is one of my best friends.  At the time they didn't seem huge, but they were all necessary to complete this puzzle that is my life now.   I guess my point is that don't take anything for granted, even something as simple as a smile to a stranger, or that dollar you gave to a homeless man.  Everything matters.   Life is good.   So live it loud!
