Interruptions... to life

Found this amazing Lewis quote on Girltalk yesterday and had to share it!

“The great thing, if one can, is to stop regarding all the unpleasant things as interruptions of one’s ‘own,’ or ‘real’ life. The truth is of course that what one calls the interruptions are precisely one’s real life—the life God is sending one day by day; what one calls one’s ‘real life’ is a phantom of one’s own imagination. This at least is what I see at moments of insight: but it’s hard to remember it all the time.” The Quotable Lewis, (Wheaton, Ill.: Tyndale House Publishers, 1989), 335.

I have to admit that I haven't taken time to realize that in a very long time. What about you? What kind of reminders do you have in place to remind you that today is "real life"?
