Why is that we rarely take a moment to stop, look around at the here, the now, this moment and realize that this... THIS is Life... this moment right now. We take moments and seconds and time for granted while looking to the future.Looking to what you want out of coming time and moments and completely neglecting this one.
Life is too short and wasted spent on yearning to be in the next moments, the next phase. To feel more accomplished. To feel more put together. To feel more worthy.
That is not what life is about... it's about the moments you laugh out loud.
The moments you spend an extra minute or two to show you care.
When you goof around in the living room because you can.
Jumping on a bike for a quick ride around the block or two.
Eating pasta because you love it.
Taking time to say I Love you. To make a phone call instead of texting. To write a card and put in the mail.
To get excited about the little things and knowing it's okay to have a big real reaction.
It's about the late night champagne visits followed by tears and laughter on the floor.
It's about looking past the little frustrations and looking at the big picture.
Taking a trip to see family when it may not be the best time but that is what's important.
Buying a pair of shoes because you can.
Realizing that staying up till 2 AM happens sometimes and you will get through the haze of the next day with the memories of the night before.
Going blackout bowling just to be with friends and not worrying about the shower you have to take to wash out the smoke smell.
Realizing that this phase, this moment is just right for right now and it is enough.
Life is such a beautiful gift. I wish I didn't take so much of it for granted!
