Living in the moment
Living in the moment
I have learned a lot in the last few years since my divorce. I've learned more than I've learned in the first half of my life. The biggest lesson I have learned is to live in the moment. Life is too short... you never know when your time is up or when you will lose a loved one.
Especially since covid and how so many people were called home so fast. We never know if we will even have a tomorrow.
I lived a life I hated for so long, a life filled with fear, filled with trying to be someone I was not.
I vowed when I closed the door on that old life that I was going to live in the moment, for me. I was going to "be" me and I was going to live life, large!
Now I stop while I am in the moment, to savor the feelings of joy. To really enjoy the love and to remember how truly blessed I am. It is then, when you step back with a heart full of gratitude, that you know you are living in the moment. That you realize how truly blessed you are.
I can still remember when I first got divorced. I had so much company and so much help from my friends and family with my new home that I was overwhelmed with emotions. This all was so different from my old life, where I had to teach myself to be grateful. It was so bad that I literally couldn't think of anything to be grateful for except my girls. These acts of kindness, especially after I was made to cut so many people I loved out of my life during my marriage, take gratitude to a whole new level. I could never repay them back for all their kindness and their forgiveness.
Living in a place of hate and a place of self-loathing for so long really taught me to live in the moment. To truly be present, to enjoy the time we spend together, not looking into the future, not thinking about the what ifs, or what people will say. No, I'm just enjoying the space you are now in.
So today, my friends, I am here to tell you that change can happen, but it's all up to you. All you need to do is stop analyzing things, and stop worrying about tomorrow. Don't worry about what others will say about you. Start being grateful, even for the small stuff, and live in the now...live in the moment...live your life large.
