Dear Readers: If you read only one book this year, make it "Real Moments" by Barbara DeAngelis (Delacorte Press). It's about real moments that make life matter--and how to have more of them.
It's about experiencing fulfillment in your life NOW, not when you have more money, or find the right partner, or achieve your perfect weight. It's about one's quest for happiness:
"First I was dying to finish high school and start college.
And then I was dying to finish college and start working.
And then I was dying for my children to grow old enough for school, so I could return to work.
And then I was dying to retire.
And now, I am dying...and suddenly I realize I forgot to live." (Anonymous)
Another gem from this philosophical little book (available in bookstores) by Barbara DeAngelis:
"Yesterday is history
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift.
That's why we call it 'the present.'"
