Special moments

Posted on by philipdodson


I am currently on holiday with my daughter, she has finished her exams and this was treat for her.

Today, we walked along the beach in the sun dipping our feet in the water and then we stopped and sat with out feet in a rock pool, with little tiny shrimps and fish that were swimming around our feet and legs.

The water was really warm, the sea was coming in behind us on to the rocks, the sun was out and we were sat overlooking a volcanic island.

Simple things are definitely the most special.

These are the moments that matter in life. Make sure that you take time to have as many as you can.

We rarely look back in life at the end on the things that we owned, but we remember all the special moments and often regret not having more of them.

Create stories

Today, we have just sat with family and listened to stories, we all have them, and they are the most important part of being a human being.

It is about memories, legacies that we will leave behind, it is the things that we cherish and remember at the end of our journeys.

It is what makes gatherings of people special, it is what makes us laugh, cry, and it is how people feel included, feel that they belong to something, were a part of a collective memory, it helps fill gaps in our own journeys and others.

We all love stories and treasure them.

In order to have these moments, we have to do things that will create the stories of the future for us, our friends and families to recount, to share, to treasure.

Live your life now, live it to create stories.

It’s what it is all about, it is the magic of life.
