As I drove through our Victorian town, I was at a stop sign — about to turn left — when I saw this man waiting at the curb. As I motioned for him to cross, that’s when it happened ...

He began walk, flashing a ringmaster’s grin, and offering a gracious bow of thanks, arms-extended, with a flair worthy of Amadeus.

We both laughed, and continued on our separate ways.

At every moment, we have the opportunity to make magic happen. To be an active participant in life. To make a simple interaction become one that is delightful and memorable.

Look for those moments. Create those moments. Be those moments.
