being present

One of the key concepts from my spiritual practice is to live in the moment. To be present is to take the time to enjoy focus on one thing at a time.

One of the best things about being unemployed is that I am making time for things I once thought too time consuming. I watch a blockbuster for the first time in months because I had a lot of time during my trip to San Diego. It was so leisurely to sit through all the previews.

The notion of wasting time is no longer a concern because I am simply in the moment and allowing myself to be present.

I am making time for people and things although I am planning and doing less. Rather than trying to make time for everyone, I simply make plans when I am in someone's neighborhood or if people contact me first.

There is a certain flow to my days, and I know that everything is truly meant to be.

To live in this moment is to appreciate life as is.
