Creative activities tend to keep me present. And it the small moments of the day, such as a walk to the mailbox that you mention, that are numerous and deserve our presence.

The older I get, the more I see the wisdom of living in the present (or at least being present for it!). I am a work in progress.

Savoring the moment we are in is something I have been aware I needed to work on in the past months of pandemic, family health issues, and more. I was someone who used to let the past define and limit the present, but once that was no longer true I could get drawn into too many “what if’s” toward the future and the consequential anxiety or fear would creep into my mind. So, the reflection you have shared here reminds me to keep disciplining myself on savoring the moment. Just last night as we had a great fire in the fireplace and was watching the Olympics Skating Gala we had recorded, I was reminded of how much a fire adds more than just an increase in temperature to the room and what enjoyment it brings. What a gift our senses are came to mind as I appreciated God giving us taste buds that provided such enjoyment to the flavor of food beyond its sustenance. All good things, small things, we can forget when caught in the past or running ahead to the future.

We tend to spend entirely too much time trying to correct the past and shape the future.

It saddens me to think about the blessings that I have missed because I was focused on the wrong things.

Holidays are when I remember the past and call up precious memories of those who have gone before me. This is so true, Lisa, “The small individual moments are actually the biggest moments of all.”

But you are right, the most precious moments are now. Blessings, Deborah
