Don’t wait for the throwback post to realize this was the good part.

Recognizing the good part usually happens years late. It takes distance, and by the time you have the distance the period is over and you are looking at a photograph, so the recognition arrives too late to change how you lived it. There is nothing inevitable about that delay. You can do some of the recognizing now.

Ask yourself what you will miss about this year. Answer honestly, then do more of whatever you named. That is the only real difference between noticing something later and noticing it while it is still available.
