{"quotes":[{"text":"MOTHER TIME: Life goes by so very fast, my dears, and taking the time to reflect, even once a year, slows things down. We zoom past so many seconds, minutes, hours, killing them with the frantic way we live that it's important we take at least this one collective sigh and stop, take stock, and acknowledge our place in time before diving back into the melee. Midnight on New Year's Eve is a unique kind of magic where, just for a moment, the past and the future exist at once in the present. Whether we're aware of it or not, as we countdown together to it, we're sharing the burden of our history and committing to the promise of tomorrow.","author":"Hillary DePiano","tags":["being-busy","busy","goals","holiday","life","magic","midnight","new-year","new-year-s","new-year-s-eve","new-year-s-resolutions","new-years","new-years-eve","resolutions","slowing-down","taking-stock","the-past","the-present","time","tomorrow","tradition","traditions","yesterday"],"id":21103,"author_id":"Hillary+DePiano"},{"text":"What we perceive as the present is the vivid fringe of memory tinged with anticipation.","author":"Alfred Whitehead","tags":["memory","the-present","time"],"id":60793,"author_id":"Alfred+Whitehead"},{"text":"There exist no new mistakes anywhere.
