Day 8 - January 8, 2010

Being present. That's the thought of the day. How can I be more present in my life? The present is all we have. Yesterday has passed. Tomorrow may never come. The present moment is all we have, and I take it for granted. "Life is in the experiencing of experience." Being in the moment, even the lowly, seemingly inconsequential ones that don't seem to matter, but that truly are the very essence of who we are. In many ways prayer is a form of being in the moment, of slowing down and being still, of getting out of your own head and looking at the larger picture and seeing how we are all connected to one another. So, whether it be sitting down for a meal, getting through another day at work, spending time with friends and loved ones, or cleaning the bathroom, I will strive to be present in every moment, and be fully engaged in life.
