Be Present

This....

...to be present in every moment and to remember what is truly important in my daily life.  This quote came to me at the perfect time and has since stuck with me. It is almost like I have a little voice inside my head that reminds me to come back and appreciate what I have in front of me, when my mind starts to wonder and moves away from the present moment.

Life throws curve balls and sometimes they are easier to catch than others.  You aren't suppose to have life figured out, but rather take each day with an open mind, heart and arms.  Welcome the adventure.  This I know, but...

To be honest this is SO hard for me.  I want to be carefree (reasonably, of course) and trust that someone will catch me when I fall down, but I also want to be in control.  I know I can't have it both ways, but finding that harmony is proving to be more and more difficult.  Life can be so unfair and I just want to make it better.  Not even necessarily for me but for those I love and care for the most.  I would go without if I could make someone else's day brighter.    

I think this may be my quote for the year.  I want to love a little more, and remember that not everything is worth the argument.  I want to hug a little tighter, and never pass up the moment to see a friend.  Most of all, I want to be present and thankful for every moment given to me.  

Tomorrow is never guaranteed, but you are living today, so here is to making the best of the ups and downs in this thing called life!

Let's Sprinkle Love {and joy} everywhere we go.
