Live in the Moment

Hello again!


So I just got home from an amazing weekend. On Saturday, I decided to drive down to Cedar City Utah to see Randy and some of my friends. I made this decision completely on a whim and had the best time. We watched movies, took pictures, went on adventures to Walmart, pretty much just had an all around incredible weekend. It was worry free and I could just let go and relax.


When I am with Randy, because we only have a limited amount of time, I constantly find myself worrying about the goodbye and what is going to happen when we have to part. As hard as I try to force it out of my head, it is always still there. One thing Randy always tells me is to stay in the moment, to stay where you are and not worry about what is going to happen because right now all that matters is the moment that you are in.


I have thinking alot about what he said. How much time do I spend a day wondering what tomorrow is going to bring or how long it is going to be until something else happens in my life? At least half of my day is spent worrying about tomorrow. True, there can be some thoughts about the future, but why constantly spend all of your time thinking about something that is going to take just as much time to get here if you weren't thinking about it. I waste so much time worrying about tomorrow or what is going to happen later, that I miss everything that is going on now. For example, I was so concerned with saying goodbye to Randy that I completely missed out on just being with him because we were both so concerned that I was upset. That is not how I want to remember my life and my time with the ones that I love. I don't want to have to look back and wish that I wasn't upset so that I could spend that actual time that we have together in  a good mood. Why waste your time today worrying about tomorrow? We already know that it is going to come. It is already tomorrow somewhere in the world so why are we so concerned with worrying about what is to come when we should be enjoying each and every precious moment that is given to us. I don't want to look back and say that I didn't spend enough time living and too much planning. "Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans."


Make yourself a promise, or even a goal. Stop and just enjoy life for at least 5 minutes of everyday.




Don't you want to be able to look back and say "Damn I had fun"?
