This instant is the only time there is. --Gerald Jampolsky
How many precious moments of sunshine, birds' song, or friends' laughter we never lay claim to because we're lost in our thoughts about yesterday or tomorrow. God has given us these moments we're experiencing right now, and in each one is a gift intended for each of us.
The smile we get from a loved one or a stranger is precious and worthy of cherishing; but to cherish it, we must notice it. When our mind is not quietly and intently immersed in the present, we fail to gain the strength God is offering us every moment.
Our Higher Power is evident wherever we look, but we must see; our Higher Power is evident in every voice, but we must hear. Our Higher Power is evident within, but we must be quiet and know.
I will quiet my mind so I can see and hear and know that God is present, now.
THIS HIT ME AS I SIT HERTE WITH MY GRANDAUGHTER ON MY LAP
PUTS A SMILE ON MY FACE

Morning Rick!!
yup-its pretty great, isnt it.?
My Higher Power keeps saying "Fill your mind with clutter, and youre brain cells are going to sputter."
Thats not too far from the truth. hahaha
Sitting here--pretty serene--not a care or concern in the world.
Now-as a recovering alcoholic--watch me complicate the "H" outa that one. hahaha
You have a great day. Dont think. Dont think. Dont think.
Another day of borrowed time. Hope we get a few more hu? :)
