With growing older comes the understanding that life truly is about moments, not years. As I see 57 on the very near horizon, I wanted to take this opportunity to visually revisit some of my favorite moments of the past 12 months, my year of being 56.
It was a challenge to gather 56 pictures. Not because there were too few photos representing moments to select from, but rather, because there were so very many from which to choose. I took thousands of photos in the past 12 months. Fifty-six isn’t really that many – in pictures or in years.
The thread which connects the photos to one another is that each image captured a moment of the year I was 56. Each one stimulates a memory of what has been an incredibly great year.
Collecting moments is so much more satisfying than counting years. Try it sometime.
