TODAY HAPPENS ONLY ONCE!
Today happens only once; be present and mindful to it.
I was sitting on a deck with my two little nephews, Parker and Paxton, and their great-grandma. The younger of the two kids began to share his food with grandma and me. It was a lavish sharing as he repeatedly offered food and he was beaming. “You’re a good sharer Paxton” said grandma. Before long his older brother began to do the same.
I don’t know what provoked the choice to share so generously but I suspect it came from the heart.
I was captivated by the boys so busily sharing and soon they moved on to playing with a scooter, albeit with less enthusiasm for sharing it! It felt like a precious gift in an unrepeatable moment of time.
As I returned to my office I was filled with gratitude for being present to the unexpected gift I’d received. The work I resumed felt different. How will I be present and mindful to this day and each day?
Call-to-Action:
- Be mindful about this day and each day
- Be present to the small gifts that the day reveals
Notice your expanded appreciation for life when you savor each day.
