A parent reflects on weekend snuggles with their partner Hollister and their children before a two-week separation. The speaker argues that noticing small moments of warmth and connection, even brief ones with strangers, builds gratitude and emotional well-being.
Good morning, everyone. Here is your moment of yes for today. And I got to spend a long weekend with Hollister and the kids, and I'm not gonna see them for 2 weeks now because we're both gonna be out of town. And so my moment of yes for today is just to appreciate the little things, the little moments. And now, last night, knowing I wasn't gonna see them for a few weeks, it just so happened that I got to snuggle with each of the kids On the couch last night while we were watching a movie, and Shepherd fell asleep on me. Holland came over and snuggled up, so we put those 2 to bed. And then Trinity came over and I got to snuggle with her for the rest of the movie, and then she went to bed. And then when we went to bed last night, Hollister and I just got to, got to snuggle with each other. And so I'm just super appreciative of, of just the little moments, the little things that There doesn't have to be a whole lot of doing, but just a lot of being and appreciating just those little moments of love and connection and warmth. And so for each of us to take a moment to find those in our day, to appreciate the little ones that happen, whether they're with a family member, a friend, a coworker, just a stranger that we share a connection with, even if just for a brief moment. So that's the way we're starting our week. That's your moment of yes for today. The little things, the little moments, and that's your moment of yes. Have a wonderful day, everyone.
