Presence

As you wake up every morning, and as you rush through your morning, you simultaneously list off your list of 'to dos' for the day. Regardless of the time of the year we all have become accustomed to rushing through our day. When was the last time you honest enjoyed a moment? Many of us don't even know what this even feels like.

I realized this as I sat in my car waiting for some friends for dinner to show up. I watched couples leave the restaurant and say their good-byes as if this was the last time they would see on another. They looked into one anothers eyes and gave each other a meaningful hug. This was the case for everyone,  one couple after another. I don't know if I ever really noticed the sweet pureness of moments like this. Two people treasuring a moment where they both connect for one last time.

The simple hugs, conversations or moment spent gazing at the night sky allow us to be present - only if we want to be. Next time you have a moment give it a try and enrich your heart.
