we remember moments....

We remember moments, not days. true. we recall a memory , a specific moment in time and how we felt at that moment. But we do not remember what time we got up that day, what was eaten, what other mundane things happened on that day....just that "moment". We go out into the world everyday and interact with dozens of people...but then, there is that "one". Perhaps they were extra kind, or maybe they hurt you, or told a joke. Maybe it was not you that was involved but you witnessed a interaction between others and it left an imprint on your heart and in your mind. When I think of my mom, and my life growing up, there is one moment that immediately come to mind. I was about 10yrs old. She was in the kitchen and i was standing in the hallway doorway. I dont recall what i had said, but she replied, "I like you. Your are my daughter and I have to love you, but I like you". I don't think I've ever had a complement that meant more to me. To this day when i think of it... I feel special and loved and unique and accepted. Thanks Mom. ( I like you too)
