Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, the graduations, the weddings, not the great goals achieved. The real milestones are less prepossessing. They come to the door of memory unannounced, stray dogs that amble in, sniff around a bit and simply never leave. Our lives are measured by these. -Susan B. Anthony
The above quote by Susan Anthony inspires me. It lets me put everything into the proper perspective. Whenever I read or share it as a birthday quote I am reminded about how special every moment on this beautiful planet is to me. I am reminded how ordinary or my daily activities bring joy into my life and the people I love. Right this moment, I am so inspired by this quote, that I will attempt to write a birthday poem with a similar theme.
