We all have those moments that we need to remember.  Those times that we can laugh about for a long time, those things that can make you smile and help you make it through a tough day or time in your life. 

 I had one of those recently.  It was just a normal morning being brought out of a night’s sleep from the bells of the alarm on my iPhone.  I went through the steps: turn on light in living room, put cartoons on the TV, wake up my son, place his clothes on the edge of his bed, go make the coffee, fix his breakfast, etc.

 Then out the door to the car on time, and to the bus stop a few minutes early. We started playing with the music on the CD in the player.  This is where the moment to remember started.  As we began to dance and sing and act a little goofy, we became completely oblivious to everything else around us – including the bus pulling up, loading up kids and pulling away.  It was only when I noticed our neighbors’ cars pulling out to go around us that I saw the bus driving off in the distance.  My son and I stopped dancing, looked up the street at the bus (that he was supposed to be on) glanced back at each other, slung our heads back laughing and started dancing again to the music of DJ Maj.

 “Oh, well,” were the next words from my mouth, and then I drove off to take him to school. 

 These are the moments to remember.  It is these types moments that both my kids seem to recall the most.  It’s the small, unexpected and unplanned moments. 

 Don’t overlook the small things or you’ll miss them and you’ll never have the opportunity to get them back!
