I recently heard about the idea of “living in a good memory”.
It’s when you’re simultaneously aware that (1) a good thing is happening, and (2) it’s going to become a memory. In that moment, you’re living in a good memory.
One example that comes to mind is our “family moon” after Maru and I got married. I remember consciously soaking up each moment; conscious they would become special memories.
Keep an eye out for “living a good memory” moments, because we can’t make the most of them if we don’t know we’re in one.
