Onward...

It'a actually hard to write about "living in the now" so early in the morning. I tend to be reflecting on yesterday's events and feelings or anticipating the day ahead. I suppose that's the problem with embracing the "now", isn't it? And, perhaps, that's why most of us don't choose to savor each moment...they are so fleeting and so...hmmm...immediate. And, let's face it, some "now" moments we'd rather not be having, so we don't embrace them. Maybe living in the "now" is more about living without dwelling on regrets or being anxious about the future...maybe it's more about being comfortable with the failures and the unanswered questions in life...maybe it's more about being patient in the seasons of life. So, inasmuch as I can describe the creamy deliciousness of my coffee right now (I ran out of fat free half and half so I used whipping cream instead...yum!), this blog will be more interesting if you will allow me to digress into "memory and hope" and "living in the questions". More on that later...short blog today as a warm-up and to show commitment to more of a regular entry. Onward...

There is something in this statement:
"Maybe living in the "now" is more about living without dwelling on regrets or being anxious about the future...maybe it's more about being comfortable with the failures and the unanswered questions in life...maybe it's more about being patient in the seasons of life."
that makes my heart feel a bright light.

THAT is how we are supposed to live, or at least part of it.
