So often we are in a hurry. We have to get the next thing done, the next task accomplished, the next hurdle jumped. Have you ever gotten so wrapped up in moving forward, living for the future, and constantly looking for what’s next, only to look around you and realize you are missing right now? Sometimes we are in such a hurry to get ‘there’, but where is ‘there’ and how do you know when it’s right ‘here’?
When life is so busy, moving at such a fast pace that you wonder where the time has gone, that is the most important place to find the moments that you have. The peace and stillness that happens is where you find the reward. Worry about today and tomorrow will take care of itself. Often it is in the holding on to what we think we need that is the very thing we need to let go of.
There for me is right here, when I sit still long enough to allow, appreciate, and acknowledge.
Where is your ‘there’?

I wrote in my personal blog, that I lived for today, In the now. I attempt to enjoy, utilize and reap the rewards as well as sorrows that come from today. Tomorrow will come . . . in its own time.

My dogs are my best friends and I learn much from them every day. You see, a canine is a here and now sort of creature. Yesterday’s gone and they really don’t care about it. Tomorrow’s not here yet and hence they don’t care about that either. A dog always lives in the moment focusing all of his/her attention on the here and now. Amazing animals, loyal friends and good teachers! One could learn a lot from a dog
Pretty hard to be in a “hurry” when your focus is where it sould be. Marty
