Let’s Make Every
Minute Count

“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!
