Episode 113: Celebrate Them While You Can

Your dad’s birthday. An ordinary Tuesday dinner. The friend on the other end of the phone. We almost never miss the big days, and somehow the regular ones, the ones that make up most of our life with the people we love, slip right past us while we are looking the other way. This week’s episode is a celebration: an invitation to savor the people still at your table this summer, before the season scatters everyone again. Inside this episode: • Why the people closest to you are the easiest ones to stop fully seeing, and what shifts the moment you notice it • How something you say out loud can stretch a good moment and make it last for both of you • Why this particular summer is the right time to slow down and pay attention Scripture: Psalm 92:14 Research note: Drawing on savoring research (Bryant and Veroff) and studies on sharing positive moments with the people we love (Gable and colleagues).
