Day 1: Smile Because It Happened

Today's truly happy moment was inspired by a quote:

"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." --Dr. Seuss

It surprised me when I found out this quote was from Dr. Seuss, one of my favorite childhood authors and whose books I loved reading to my own children. How fitting then that the quote inspired memories of raising my children; and, instead of those memories being tainted by the usual lingering sadness that this part of my life is fast coming to an end (my baby turns 18 next month), today I experienced only the pure happiness of those memories.... and genuinely smiled because they happened.
