... biggest mistake

". . .but the biggest mistake I made is the one that most of us make:

I did not live in the moment enough.

This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs.

I wish I had not been in a hurry to get on to the next things: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less.
