Years and Moments
In today's Writer's Almanac, a writer named Ann Beattie is quoted as saying, "People forget years and remember moments."
Is she right? When you think back, is it moments that help you recall the years?
If so, are the big moments--the ones photographed and slipped into albums--the ones you dredge up, or the small ones that unfolded around the breakfast table or on a hike in the woods?

Once I read her post, however, I remember her describing this many years ago. Love the photos. Photos of moments: riding in the car, perched in the doctor's office, catching her stepdaughter's profile while she waits for a program to begin. Life in the in-between. It's where it all happens.
