Being Present
"No matter where you go, no matter how many gifts you give and receive this holiday season, unless you are actually present, it all flies by as if in a dream. Satisfaction in anything--a meal, an interaction, a gift, a sunset--depends on your willingness to take it in. Breathe. Feel your arms and your legs. You are allowed to love every little thing about yourself and your life. You are allowed to take up space and be all that you are. Really you are."
Hugszzzz to all!

Hi Vicki,
Great food for thought. Living in the moment as opposed to living a few seconds ahead, anticipating instead of just being in the present. Thank you for this gift (present, lol).
Hugs,
Shar
Thank you.....that\'s just want I had decided to do....slow down....ignore the \'toxics\' and enjoy small moments and breathe! Xxx
Thank you! Enjoy what is, it\'s real. Everything else is imagination?
Happy Soltice!
this is absolutely beautiful and absolutely true! my difficulty is that even in the moment, I kept saying to myself: \"this is going by too fast! I\'m enjoying \"what is\" but does it have to go so fast?\" I couldn\'t seem to slow down time. My best friend flew in, we had 4 days of non-stop activities and parties, and he flew away. And I\'m left with a wealth of memories and a sad, but buoyant heart.
How it all goes too soon. Can\'t staple-gun it down, dammit. ;)
LoL
