Watching Downton Abbey the other day, Mr. Carson made a statement that struck me deeply; "The business of life is the acquisition of memories."
As folks have often said, when the end comes, it won't matter what you've made, or the achievements you've accomplished, but the memories you have shared.
So the quote flashed like a light bulb. Now to figure out how to change my life to work at its proper business.
Many, many, many times I have said that life is too short. I would rather have one helluva life that just a memory for others. Instead, if I am a memory, I am one helluva memory. :)
ReplyDeleteWe ask the kids their highs and lows of the day. It's a nice way to keep memories going :)
