Some of life’s best moments happen while nobody realizes they are becoming memories.

The moments that stay with you are rarely the ones designed to be memorable. They are usually unremarkable at the time, a kitchen, a car ride, a conversation about nothing, and their significance is assigned later by the fact that they cannot happen again. Nothing announces itself as a memory while it is being made.

Since you cannot know which ones they are, the only reasonable response is to be a little more present in the unremarkable ones. That is where most of the important material turns out to be.
