Life can be chaotic at times, and it can be easy to lose sight of the things that are most important, particularly during the holidays.

We become so focused on meeting those work deadlines before the end of the year, what gift to get Aunt Carol, or whether there'll really be time to make those holiday cookies.

Early last week, I started to get caught up in the holiday whirlwind. A friend reminded me of a lyric in a John Lennon song:

This is a simple line, but a stark reminder to live in the here and now and appreciate each moment.

As I entered the MNT editorial office the next morning, I took a minute to look around at the team. I couldn't help but smile. This isn't just an office full of writers and editors. It's an office full of friends who genuinely care for each other.

Importantly, we care for you, our readers, and we work together every day to create the best possible health content.
