Being Present

I sometimes have a fear that I'm rushing through life so fast that I will come to a screeching halt late in life, look around and say "what the hell just happened?"

A conversation that my sister and I had got me thinking. We are a culture of trying to do so much at once. Multi-tasking is looked at as necessary and something to strive for. While it is true that multi-tasking is inevitable, our culture takes it to the next level. I want to really try to be more present. Stopping for a moment to just be. Be in that moment that will never happen again. Be present with the people that are with you. Be present with the thoughts that surround you. Breathe.

Smell the coffee that is brewing, enjoy a great sunset, breathe in the crisp January air, give someone a good hug...a really good hug,
