Someone to Share With

"Life's special moments are more exceptional when we have someone to share them with." ~Warren Henderson

There was a meeting of all the assistants a few weeks ago. One of the things that we talked about in the meeting were the moments and events that we were most thankful for in this community. What I found very interesting about the moments people mentioned is that not one of the moments was anything out of the ordinary.

My most special moment or memory is that of Saturday morning breakfasts I would always make big plates of pancakes and everyone would be around when they were up. There is nothing extraordinary about that, but for me there was.

Over the past months, I have come to realize even more how incredible each and every moment is. There has never been anyone in my life who is so constantly, solidly there before now, with me in the little moments and the big ones. I know what it feels like now and I really like it. Every little moment becomes something very special. Things like going grocery shopping or driving home are an exciting part of my life. Things like having fresh flowers in the house are always something more than just having flowers. It means something.

I know that I will always find special moments when I am in community. I know that I will also be able to find extraordinary memories in very ordinary moment every day for the rest of my life because I will always have someone to share the moments with.
