Remember to Savor Great Experiences

I recently watched the season finale of the wonderful TV series The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel with my wife, which was a great series, but I found it jarring, because we didn’t realize we were watching the finale. I wish streaming shows would have some screen as the last episode loaded that said “Season Finale!”, to tell me to savor the ending. Similarly, it’d be great if life somehow better signalled to you when an amazing moment, like a sweet moment with you child, was about to happen, so you could really savor it, among the chaos of day-to-day living. Sadly, that’s not how life works.

Ferris Bueller reminds us with “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

Daniel Tiger reminds my two year old, and me to “Enjoy the wow now!”
