abandon your plans of escape. and be where you are. plant gardens and live, live well.
BREATHE. Breathe in and Breathe deeply.
Be PRESENT. Do not be past. Do not be future. BE NOW.
On a crystal clear, breezy 70 degree day, roll down the windows and
FEEL the wind against your skin. Feel the warmth of the sun.
If you run, then allow those first few breaths on a cool Autumn day to FREEZE your lungs and do not be alarmed. BE ALIVE.
Get knee-deep in a novel and LOSE track of time.
If you bike, pedal HARD...and if you crash then crash well.
Feel the SATISFACTION of a job well done - a paper well-written, a project thoroughly completed, a play well-performed.
If you must wipe the snot from your 3 year old's nose, don't be
disgusted if the Kleenex didn't catch it all...because soon he will be
wiping his own nose.
If you've recently experienced loss, then GRIEVE. And Grieve well.
At the table with friends and family, LAUGH. If you're eating and
laughing at the same time, then you might as well laugh until you
puke. And when you eat, SMELL. The aromas are not the
impediments to your day. Steak on the grill, coffee beans freshly
ground, cookies in the oven. And TASTE. Taste every ounce
of Flavor. Taste every ounce of Friendship. Taste every
ounce of LIFE.
Because-it-is-most-definitely-a-GIFT.
