Being Present

Realtiy can be a difficult place to live. Sometimes it seems impossible to stay in the here and now.

From time to time we all revisit the past and yearn for the future. This is natural. Being present every minute of the day is impossible for anyone.

Still, we can strive to be present for as many minutes as we can. We strive for progress, not perfection.

Today, am I doing what I can to be present?

Thought for the Day

A small dose of reality is better than no reality at all.

Nothing like a full day of scrubbing floors to keep your nose in the now. Thanks for the post... I'm excited to work hard today, and grateful that I can.

Yep ... ... .... This reminds me of the old acronym: S.O.B.E.R. "Son Of a Bitch, Everything's Real"

Thank you Pappy and Tasha!  Yes, the NOW is the place to be.  Love it when my head and feet are in the same spot.
