Be Present in Life!

So, I had a great week this week.

Why you might ask?  Becasue I have been present.in each moment.  It has been a goal.

It all came to me yesterday at 3:00.   

Yesterday at 3:00.....I went home to pick up the boys and I was not ready to leave work. (We all know that we can always do 3 more things when we leave every day.)   But, I did leave like my scheduled said.

I drove home and I walked outside to greet the kids and they ran to me and hugged me.

I had a true moment.

I was so happy to see them, they were happy to see me. I was present.  I was not on my phone or on the computer when they walked in the door.  My eyes meet their eyes and it was so very good.

I believe that this is the reason that my week has been so good.  

I have been meeting new people, you have to be present in that moment.

I have been focusing on my family time.

I have been focusing on my work time.

I have had great phone calls with old and new friends.

This week I have found:

• I regret teaching my children "ice,ice, baby" If I listen to that song one more time I might stab myself in the eye.
• I have fallen in love with a new book with Slick.   Read it:  Wonderstruck by Brian Selnick
• I have spent some (a date night is needed) quality time with Mr.
• I have had loved having devoted time and place for work.  It gives me energy and passion when I am surrounded by others with the same visions.
• I have given the time that I need for devotions.   That is an energy that feeds my soul.
• I have to figure out when I can make it to the gym.   That is missing and needed. 

I challenge you all to be present where you are.  Look around, notice......it will make a HUGE impact on how you live you daily life.

Perspective:   Be present.  It really can be that simple. Be a part of  each moment wherever you are at (Target, Home, Work, School, etc.).  The moments where you can focus makes the time more important and vital to who you are.
