I had the most wonderful fun filled Thanksgiving and holiday weekend. A great time spent with friends, sharing great food and celebrating all the goodness that we have in our lives.  Showered with abundance in both the emotional and material sense.

It really got me thinking how this is it.  These are the moments we look back on and remember. And how quickly these moments can pass us by as we are often quickly onto the next.  In our fast paced world we have so many options and so much to see and do.  All in a day at times.  That life can seem like a big to do list.  A great enjoyable to do list but many times pushing us to be in the future.  Never fully embracing what is right this second.

My challenge and I offer the same to you is “How in the moment can we be?”  “How can we practice truly being present and right where we are?”  Not in this evenings dinner plans or yesterdays business meeting but fully immerse ourselves in the experience that is now.  And if you are like me this can be challenging at times because I have spent most of my life completely out of the now, in my thinking, planning and doing anything else I could do sometimes to avoid feelings.

The great thing is that the reward for being in the now is both real and better than anything I could even hope to find through my perpetual doing.  For me being in the moment is where peace of mind, solutions and faith reside.

We really do have it all if we can stop, pause and absorb all the wonder that can only truly be found right now.

Enjoy
