SO GOOD QUOTES

This is a bit of a somber exercise, but it’s very powerful:

When you are with your spouse, significant other, best friend or a close relative, picture the moment, in all its mundane detail, as if you’re looking back on it from a point in life where that person is no longer around. No need to imagine any upsetting explanations for their absence; the part of your life that includes that special person is just over, and you are happy to have been with them while your lives overlapped.

Observe them as if you’ve been shipped back from the future, to see them once again on an ordinary day, with absolutely no reason to take it for granted.

You will probably feel a heavy sensation of gratitude, and you’ll find it difficult not to pay attention to the things that were said today.

Things We Said Today
