Have you ever...


Talked face to face through the night with a friend, sacrificing valuable sleep for invaluable extra moments together?

Lost all track of time on a deep conversation with parents and showed up late for work?

Missed a new movie's midnight showing to listen patiently to a lonely neighbor?

Left a raucous dance party to gaze at the stars and communicate with the Divine?

Sacrificed 30 minutes of "quality" Facebook time to help a daughter with piano lessons?

Put off reading a self-indulgent novel to write a letter to a grandparent?

Sent anyone a handwritten, snail-mail Thank You card?

Turned off a football game to help your wife with the dishes?

Turned off a "chick flick" to bake your husband's favorite pie?

Gotten up far too early to cheer on a son's Saturday morning soccer game?

Driven an hour out of your way to replace an impersonal text message with an in-person embrace?

Spent so much time wrestling with three very energetic nephews that you ran out of time to craft a more lengthy blog post?

If so, congratulations on living, and living well.
