    This kind of thing is seriously the best that life gets. Being able to recognize those moments and appreciate them is one of the best skills somebody can obtain. Mindfulness meditation and stoic philosophy have helped me immensely in being able to appreciate these types of situations for the real value that they have.

      As a father of a toddler, I try to appreciate every day and not take these types of moments for granted.

      I’m very mindful of the fact that this time I’m living in right now is the period of my life that I’ll revisit in my memories on repeat when I’m an old man.

        What wise réalisation, wow… I hope it bears much nostalgic fruit for you to enjoy in your golden years.

        I’ve been eating my past a bit too much lately. Got to remember to do like you, and make something for the future to eat too
