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.
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.
