Excerpts from the Book - pg 9

Just for Today . . .
I’ll live in the moment.

This particular thought seems so obvious and overused.  Upon further investigation however, I realized it is so rarely practiced.  We spend hours, days, weeks, and entire years living everywhere but in the present.  We think about what we need to do tomorrow, we plan for our retirement, and we stay angry over events in the past. 

• We are so busy living in every other moment that we miss the precious moment at hand. 
• We are so pre-occupied with wishing we had more than we do that we miss the value and beauty of what is right before our eyes. 
• We are so busy thinking about tomorrow’s work that we miss the conversation our child is trying to have with us right now. 
• We miss so many moments because we are consumed with moments we have already experienced and those may never have. 

Just for today, only today, let’s live in the moment.

• Let’s experience today with no thoughts of tomorrow. 
• Let’s bask in every single moment provided, right here and right now. 
• Let’s experience this moment to the absolute fullest – everything about it, the smells, the sights, the sounds, and the feelings. 
• Let’s experience every detail of this moment. 

There may be no tomorrow and we can’t change yesterday; let’s live in the moment as it is provided. 

Let’s live in the moment . . .  just for today.
