– Ralph Waldo Emerson, writer and philosopher

What does it mean to live a good hour? It could mean:

• Being fully present to each person and fully engaged in each experience.
• Living in the moment, not dwelling on the past or daydreaming solely of the future.
• Living a life of meaning and purpose beyond your own concerns.
• Being generous and sharing your special gifts and resources with others.
• Learning and growing in some way each day, and sharing your knowledge and life experiences with others.
