Little moments that matter

“We didn’t realize we were making memories,
we just knew we were having fun.”
– A.A. Milne

A baby is born.  A loved one unexpectedly dies. A challenging diagnosis is met with bravery and inspires. A family takes a special trip. Another has had to place their adult child in hospice. There is a wedding, also a funeral.

While these are passages in life that happen every day, we are especially mindful of their impact in recent weeks among our own Advantage family members experiencing life events that have brought both joy and deep sorrow.

They remind us it’s the little moments in life, and the love that we give and allow others to give to us, that really matter.

Making dinner with your family, having story time with a child, doing your morning routine, saying goodbye or goodnight, holding a newborn baby, sharing a hug, accepting someone’s apology, helping others and allowing them to help you when you need it …  these kinds of everyday moments create the memories that get etched upon our hearts and will carry us forward when we need them most.

It won’t be that great work project you accomplished.

While many of these weekly messages to you are about work, and we do aim to make a difference in people’s lives through their work, this one isn’t.

Here’s to creating some little moments that really matter in your life!

Ask us or talk to your Advantage partner about our company values and how they shape the work we do.
