Life is Made of Moments




“Life isn't a matter of milestones,
but of moments.”
                        - Rose Kennedy


I'm liking this for a Friday morning.  With all the graduations going on, it's almost like we're seeing our girls in snapshots.  Those little Daisies are now Brownies, click.  That Cadette who made it through 7th grade "fog" is now a happy Senior, applying for her first destinations. That former Gold Award Recipient just graduated from UCLA, click.  (Jen Fingal, this is a shout-out to you!  Congratulations!!)

And while these are milestones, okay so UCLA is a big one, we see them as moments. Time standing still.  That bridging moment is going to be added to that first Daisy uniform moment, which will be added to all the other wonderful moments that our girls have in Scouting.
 
It's these instants that we record on our highly efficient digital equipment for posterity. But they are snapshots in time that are engraved on our hearts, in all their Girl Scout glory! Rose Kennedy had it right:  it's the day-to-day, non-earthshattering moments that make up our full lives.
