A new day!
Wow, we had some gorgeous weather this weekend! Although my energy is zapped right now, I managed to get outside and soak up the sun! I wandered around our property with my camera, found some interesting shots to take, and truly enjoyed the sound of my children playing. The more and more I think about it, living in the moment is really what its all about. To be actively conscious in the present… sounds so easy, but think about it? We have a million and 2 distractions that have us thinking about tomorrow, next week, a holiday to come. Those are precious present moments lost. I’m not saying dont plan for the future, but I believe a little more time spent in the moment is priceless. Tony, your blog entry today was really beautiful. From the picture you posted, to the descriptive way you described your day with your family. Those are priceless memories to be cherished. Thank you! Everyone, enjoy today! Take a moment to silence your thoughts and ENJOY the present moment. You’ll never get it back.
good to see you are looking at things in a better light. we definitely need to keep our minds and bodies in the present with only our eyes on the future and not the other way around. when my dad died everything I thought I knew changed and I see things so much more clearly now. how quickly people can come and go and never even leave a mark in the world. most people are so caught up in material and worldly things they don’t even see the treasure that is right in front of them (kids, friends, family, love, health, the beauty of life, the smell of the air in the morning, the beach, trees I could just go and on) it is so easy to get carried away with silly stuff, stuff we have no control over or stuff that doesn’t even matter.
LIVE to ENJOY the MOMENT
Sandy, Thanks for the mention of my post
things are obviously and in a big way changing, and it seems like its contagious, I am happy that you are back to seeing things in a better way and enjoying things again. its suppose to be in the 70’s by weeks end
I can’t wait.
As Ever
Me
I can’t wait either! Good for you Sandy!
You guys are so right. I wish I could be reminded of this more. It seems hard to remember sometimes, that life is short, and we should cherish every little thing that can be cherished. Thanks for the reminder!
