Some random Tuesday this month will end up being one of your favorite memories. You just won’t know which one yet.

Memory does not sort by importance while it is happening. The days that stay with you are rarely the ones you planned and paid for. They are ordinary afternoons that happened to have the right people in them, and you cannot pick them in advance.

Give an unremarkable day this week a little more attention than it seems to deserve. Put the phone face down at dinner, stay ten minutes longer, ask the second question. You are not making a memory on purpose, you are just being there when one shows up.
