Man lives his or her life in moments, not in years, though we do celebrate birthdays. In actuality, life is lived in moments. We often miss fully living in the present moment because we are so busy rehashing the past or rehearsing the future.
Our days are numbered as is our breadth. We could be happily alive one moment, and moved on the next, leaving our near and dear ones, our riches and all our material glory behind. The material outcome of each one of us is the same: ashes and dust and onto eternal life minus all we have known. Meanwhile I can either strike off the day or moments I have lived or add each day of my life to my treasure of days lived (Robert Brault).
Therefore, each moment of life is to be celebrated; with joyous gratitude and celebrating those moments with sharing a piece of ourselves. William Arthur Ward pointed this out and famously said
"God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say 'thank you'?"
Keep in mind the old saying. “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is God’s gift, and that’s why we call it the present.”
