Life is a series of moments: some happy, some funny, some frightening, some sad. As I grow older, I find that certain moments stand out in my mind. There are the seminal moments, of course: exchanging wedding vows, attending funerals, walking across the stage at commencement. These kinds of things are usually easy to remember, but I am more taken by memories of smaller moments. I am sure a psychologist or neurologist could explain why we remember what we do, but I actually like the wonder and serendipity of it all.
