Being present in the moment I was able to savor the following things this weekend:

1. Teaching Emma to chop vegetables.
2. Sorting out the school supplies with my children to take to Meet & Greet tomorrow.
3. A moment of explaining the value of attitude, respect and eye contact to Emma when I think she actually “got it”.
4. A Dinara tickle fest with Sanibel joining in. (Visual: Dinara upside down on my lap, me tickling, the peals of laughter, and Sanibel licking her face and being all excited… much fun!)
5. Practicing reading with Dinara as she a read the postcard from her new teacher. We have a long way to go, but there is progress!
6. Quiet moments alone last night before going to sleep reading a great book by Geneen Roth.
7. Buying the person in the car behind me a latté at Starbucks as a random act of kindness.
8. Shopping for a wonderful dinner tonight of grilled veggies, pear & walnut salad with strawberry vinaigrette, potato salad and BBQ chicken.
9. The nirvana of buying new pillows and organizational stuff at Bed, Bath and Beyond.
10. The realization that I am taking people’s lack of responsibility to volunteerism too personally and I simply have to let go. Freeing in the moments I can do it. Hoping it comes easier with time and practice.

What about you? What moments are you savoring?
