Memories are made in momentous moments, but most are are a collective of the mundane, ordinary days that our lives are made up of. Today is no exception. It is Sunday, a day that stretches ahead of you, delightful in its lack of obligations. Today was wonderful in its nothingness.

I went Spinning and actually kept up without dying! The chicken I threw in the oven, with sweet potatoes, came out succulent and just spiced exactly right. The broccolini and the rice were good. The salad, just right. Connections with people felt right. The walk with the dog and a couple of buddies was great.

Then the topping, sitting on my daughter’s bed for a couple of hours, she was painting her Year 12 final piece. We slipped in and out of conversation, me watching TV, surfing the net on my Mac and writing, and she painting and creating the beautiful work she does. The silences still connected us, the conversation lapsed in and out of the future, her dreams and views. These are the moments of memories, and when I hugged her and said good night, all was right in my world for those few seconds and tonight will be a night I hold onto when I am old and grey and reflect back on “those were the days.”

Make your moments memories…
