Now is the moment..

I spotted a comment on my daughter Amy’s facebook page today saying simply ‘I’m grinning from ear to ear’. What has she been up to I thought to myself. Of course, I had to investigate.

I was expecting a great romance or a superb deal at work that had just come off in her favour. But no. Amy said she was just waiting for the bus outside of her house to take her to work and she just couldn’t stop grinning.

‘Mum’ she said ‘the sun was shining and it is so pretty where I live. I just love it and I was so happy to be there looking at everything and just feeling safe and lucky. It just made me grin’.

What a great uncomplicated story. Well done Ames. So many of us miss the things that should mean the most to us. The sunshine, the greenery everywhere at this time of the year and the fact that we are there, in that moment, enjoying it all.

It’s called living in the moment. But we can miss it by spending precious moments worrying and stressing over things in the past or things that ‘may’ happen in the future. The only thing that is really real is the moment we are in right now. For instance, here I am in my sunny office in my home. I can hear the TV burbling away in the lounge and I can hear someone outside mowing their lawn. I am safe, comfortable and inspired. What more could I want?

So let’s live in the moment and let’s enjoy and recognise the simple things that make life on this planet so incredible. It’s down to you!
