Being Present in the Moment

[caressa]

So many times, we miss out on life by not being there. We focus on the loved ones in our lives or on being busy, that we don't stop and be present in the moment.

We let moments pass us by. We are so busy 'doing' that moments slipped by and we think, "What was that?" We never have a clear picture of what is, because our minds are going in many directions all at once.

We think we have peace and serenity when in fact, it is a whirl-wind that is going so fast, no one emotions settles in and we are unaware.

If I don't feel, doesn't mean I have peace and serenity. It means I am shut off and shut down. When I shut off what I don't want to acknowledge, feel or confess, then I shut off the Light of the Spirit. God can't get in because we have closed ourselves off.

This is my life. This is my moment. I will be aware of my body, mnd and spirit. I will be open to experience life on life's terms.

It is always about what is happening today. Yesterday has gone, tomorrow hasn't gotten here yet, all I have is today. As the saying goes, That is why the present is called a gift.

Just today, I found myself thinking tomorrow never comes.

When we live in the moment in today, life won't pass us by. I don't want to wait on tomorrow. I don't want to put my life on hold for people, places, and things.
