Live in the Moment

One of the hardest things to do is to live in the moment.

If you are anything like me, you know how easy it is to slip into worry mode and "what if" thinking.  When that happens,  it's like a huge black cloud that creeps in front of the sun.  It blackens everything in sight.

A lot of the "what if" situations that come into my mind don't ever transpire.  (Thank God.)

Living in the moment helps me to appreciate the very smallest things in life. It allows me to look at, for example, the rose in the photograph above. It's so simple yet so incredibly beautiful.

The cut glass pitcher it's in, picked up at a yard sale, adds to its loveliness.

So, today, I'm going to make a concerted effort to live in the moment. It's all any of us really have.

ARE YOU ABLE TO JUST LIVE IN THE MOMENT?
