Vicki Corona - Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Welcome to The Daily Quote – a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, for July 25th.Today is National Wine and Cheese Day, which is essentially a classy way of saying, “ooooh la laaaa, la cheese, la wine.” It’s a celebration of culinary companionship — the savory and the sippable — and an excuse to eat like a European aristocrat while wearing sweatpants.And in honor of this day of delightful pairings, I’ve picked a quote that leans into the joy of simple pleasures from Vicki Corona, who once said:"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."

Now, this quote is often misattributed, but the message? It's unmistakable. It’s about quality over quantity — not how many things you check off your to-do list, but how deeply you experience the moments that matter.And let’s face it, some of those breath-stealing moments are big and dramatic — mountaintop views, surprise proposals, standing ovations. But others? They’re quieter. A perfect bite of creamy camembert. The way a bold red opens up after a swirl. Or that moment when someone refills your glass without asking — a small but noble act of friendship.So today, don’t wait for something epic to happen. Let the simple things — the perfect pairings — remind you that joy doesn’t have to be loud to be meaningful.That's going to do it for today. May your cheese be sharp, your wine be smooth, and your moments — unforgettable.And I'll be back tomorrow, same pod time, same pod station - with another Daily Quote.
