in the moment

i think i used to live my life like this....one foot in 'now' and my other in 'then' or 'when'. looking forward to an event but then when i was in the thick of it really wishing it was over or already planning on what was coming next. it wasn't horrible, i just wasn't always all there. i think i saw it as multitasking. (yeah right!)

and i still do it. especially in church sad to say. i often am half tuned in. and i'm notorious for getting my planner out and thinking about my 'to do list.'

so living my 60th year i've tried harder to have both feet in the moment. 

i know i'm happier that way...and when the kids come over now i love it. i don't worry about if things are a mess. or feel i need to worry about what we're doing next. i just enjoy them. 

i think Heavenly Father wants us to learn to see that time is precious. and that even though we have eternity to look forward to, if we don't learn to value the moment how can we truly value eternity. 

i love being 60. i'm here. in this moment. 
and it's good.
