You guys, I was watching Disney's Beauty and the Beast with my family a few nights ago and I had a profound moment. It was one of those moments that just hit you. You know, like take your breath away, and make you realize that life's moments are fleeting. Slipping through our fingers like sand on the beach.

I was sitting on the couch snuggled up with my two favorite guys when this moment really hit me. I have to share with you what it was that hit me like a ton of bricks. There is a scene where Belle's father, Maurice, is working on building a music box and he sings a song called "How Does a Moment Last Forever?" I mean when he started singing and the flashbacks started happening I seriously almost started crying right there in my jammies. 

While Maurice sings and asks us,"How does a moment last forever," images of him painting the figures inside the music box flash by and then a close up of a painting of his wife holding an infant, Belle. Then images of Belle surrounded by sketched of her face as a child. This is when I had my moment. You have to see for yourself, I know you will have a moment too...

Am I right, guys? Did you start thinking about how fleeting our moments are? Time is just passing us by. But as Maurice is singing and wondering about how we can make a story never die, guess what I noticed? All around him are portraits. Paintings, figures, sketches...that's how he has made his moments last forever. As I was weeping on the couch in my jammies thinking about how life is flying by, I also thought about one of the things that makes me love my job the most. I love that I get to make your moments last forever and keep your story moving on and on.
