We all have a love/hate relationship with TimeHop and Facebook Memories. Every day we have the opportunity to look back on our memories with friends, family, and (sometimes) people we no longer talk to. It's fun to look back and say "I remember that!" and "Remember that day?", but then you realize: they are memories. We will never have the opportunity to live in that moment again.
Every day we have the opportunity to make new and exciting memories. I often think of the song from the musical RENT "Five Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Moments So Dear..." Every moment we share with others is precious and dear. This season is one of love and rememberance of those who have gone before us. Family gather from all sorts of places to remember the "good times" and also the ones that are sad. We should enjoy this time with our family and friends. The moments we are making now will last a lifetime, and once the moment is over, it is now a memory that we forever look back on, whether good or bad.
So, this may not be a super long article, but I believe that it gets straight to the point; we should live in the moments with the ones around us. Technology is great, but I challenge everyone this week to put down the phone a little bit more than usual and enjoy the ones around you. Call someone you may have not talked to in a while, or spend some time with someone who you may not see as often. Make moments, that will lead to memories. Make the effort to find the good in moments, and if you can't, find a lesson that will help you in your future. In this, we will find what it really means to "Make Moments Count".
