To Making It Count

I had a sudden intense urge to watch Titanic tonight, and who am I to deny? It really is quite fun, especially when Rose goes up on her toes to prove her toughness. I wouldn't be opposed to living as Jack did, minus the whole going down with the ship thing. His motto of making each day count is really quite empowering, especially since it lead to the party in steerage. That was definitely the real party to be at. I feel especially sappy that I'm almost crying here at the end of it. Well, at least until she "accidentally" drops the Heart of the Ocean. That scene is rather ridiculous, although I suppose they had to dispose of it for the plot line. But I love how she did as he asked, and made each moment count, and did all that she had dreamed.

So here's to making it count, to the moments:

"The purpose of life is to matter, to count, to stand for something; to have it make some difference that we lived at all."
Leo Rosten

Life all comes down to a few moments. This is one of them.
Charlie Sheen

Life is a succession of moments, To live each one is to succeed.
Corita Kent

There are all sorts of strange things and experiences that happen to you over the course of your life, moments where you can't possibly believe what is happening other than for the reason that it is.
Richard Gough

"We do not remember days, we remember moments."
Cesare Pavese

Life is filled with so many exciting twists and turns. Hop off the straight and narrow whenever you can and take the winding paths. Experience the exhilaration of the view from the edge. Because the moments spent there, that take your breath away, are what make you feel truly alive."
