I’ve talked about this before; how I struggle to live in the present. I am constantly making and trying to follow plans along with relying on past milestones or mistakes to make decisions. This is all perfectly logical and fine. However, as I’m sure most of you know, not always the case. I am trying more to be spontaneous and to live in the now. Life can surprise you and sometimes you just have to deal. Imagine my delight when I attended a brunch on Saturday and my favor was this:
Perfect in every way; I now carry it with me everywhere.
A few weeks back, one of the managers where I work lost his partner suddenly. I had only met him once but found him to be funny and a delight to be around. I was heartbroken to learn of this news. I respect T wholeheartedly and watching someone begin the grieving process is hard. I attended the gathering at their favorite watering hole this evening and felt so honored to be there. People who are grieving need a lot of love and support. Also a big lesson to all of us to live in the now as you may never know when life may throw a curve ball.
Have a beautiful Monday!

Like Tiffany, I’m always thinking about the future and forget to just enjoy NOW! I need to really work on that.
I have the opposite problem….I am always planning and thinking towards the future. So much so, that I forget to breathe and enjoy the present. Thanks for this little reminder, which is very appropriate for me today.
