about the big things but all the little things that make up our lives - catching a really big fish with your father, shopping with your moth- er, sledding with your brothers, working for a cause you love, creating something beautiful, and seeing the world for what it is with all its bruised beauty - all the food and parties and laughter as well as the tears and sadness.

ABIGAIL AND THE MASKS One day, Abigail and I went to Pier One. It was around the time of the Christmas holidays ‘12. We saw some guilded masks that were quite attractive.

Sometimes the best part of an entire day can be just a moment of time like those 15 minutes. We have to take those moments and cherish them. And, guess what, it didn’t even cost us anything to enjoy ourselves. We don’t always realize it but there are times that cost us nothing to enjoy ourselves. That’s a gift when we are aware of it.
