“Life is made of memorable moments. We must teach ourselves to
really live...to love the journey not the destination.” -- Ann Quindlen
If you’re like me, you want your holiday time to be especially
memorable. You may even have one special time — a ceremony, meal, party or trip
— in mind as the pinnacle. My hope is that even before the “big event” that preceding
moments — as well as those that follow — are also filled with wonder and joy.
Take time to hug, smile, laugh, pitch in, celebrate, love, make
a new special friend or strengthen a connection. Who knows, some of those more everyday
experiences may turn into your other favorite recollections. More often than not, the most special
memories are those that happen unexpectedly.
Looking back at 2013, this year was full of great
accomplishments for our district as well as individual successes and heroic
acts. As we wind down the last
moments of another calendar year, let’s all look ahead to 2014 with great
anticipation of what is to come and pledge together to make every minute count.
Happy Holidays!
