Don’t forget the Wonder

Have you stopped to enjoy the wonder lately?









I so much enjoy many of Eric’s blogs such as the one at http://ejmdesigns.blogspot.com/2010/03/monday-motivation-dont-forget-wonder.html

Don't Forget the Wonder he says! “We so often focus so much on what is immediate, on what is "important" that we often forget that there is wonder and discovery as close as our own back yards. As close as walking outside to our cars. As close as now.”

I think about how often I “stop and smell the roses” and its so true, we focus on the immediate and we forget to live in the moment. If you have ever found yourself at home thinking about what you need to do at work, or at work thinking about things happening in your personal life, you know how distracting it is. Living in the moment means you are totally immersed in an experience.

What were the magical moments that have been in your life? Can you really sit down and write a list of every time that you were totally and completely immersed in the act of living?

Living in the moment is easy during special times in your life. However, most days don't contain special events, and unless you learn to live in the moment, worry, fear, resentments or other distractions will rob you of your life. I know that this is true for me. I have to really work on finding those few times that I can honestly say “I am alive and I feel, see, touch, smell and taste” every sensation.

Sarano Kelly used to teach us to stop several times during the day and just breathe….deep cleansing breaths…. have a moment of “gratefulness” and then refocus.

So, I vow to spend more time working on “living in the moment and reliving the wonder” that all live has to offer.
