Where has 2008 gone to? I just saw that my last post here was in December 2007.  Here’s it’s June already.

I definitely had cause for thought about it, though.  How many times have I gone through how many days on autopilot and missed out on enjoying what was there? Or learned what there was to learn?  I think it goes beyond stopping to smell the roses — you need to make the effort to find them to smell them.

How many times do we go through our lives for days, weeks, months, even years, unconscious and unaware, just taking care of crises and not living the moments in between where we can take a breath, center ourselves and be ready for what comes next?

I bumped into a friend last week.  She and I have been trying to plan a lunch date.  Last time I spoke to her was 6 weeks ago and I could have sworn it was just the week before.  Where had my life gone and what had I missed?

This is not a good thing.  I hope you will join me in being more present and alive in every moment every day.  There are only 24 hours in a day and I plan on enjoying my waking ones 60 minutes at a time.

Until next time,

Peace
