    It’s not just another day…it’s the one day that’s given to you…the only gift you have right now.” Beautiful, true words. Grateful that you shared them with us. Thank you!

    OMG, so I watched it with the sound OFF and thought, “Yeah, that’s cool”. And then it occurred to me that there might be music if I turned the sound ON. Let me just say this, it’s a much better movie with the sound on.

    Thanks so much for sharing it, for reminding us to live in the moment. It really is a skill that must be developed (and one I have truly been working on lately)!

    Happy Thanksgiving!

      Indeed the sound is what makes it. 🙂
      Glad you liked it and I am with you–each moment adds up, then they equal what makes a life–important to be in them.
