A stunning and beautiful reminder to be present. Make the most of each moment. Move forward.

Scant minutes before, our solar lights brightly dotted the boundary of the patio and the final vestiges of night yet remained.

Ephemeral.

Then this.

A new day.

Today.

Please don’t get ahead of yourself and mentally jump into the 10:00 AM TEAM meeting or the interview you have been counting on for a month. Or fret about dropping the car off and figuring out the logistics of picking up groceries or just paying for it. Sure the kids need to get up and get ready for school or maybe you do too.

And your dog needs that morning walk.

Or you promised yourself one.

Perhaps the weight is not of these concerns but more so of a different source.

A rut.

Remorse. Resentment. Regret. That sense that you need to make things right not just with those around you but with with yourself. And, with another.

That the old has served its purpose and the transformattive nature of the new is there to be embraced. It’s just that it seems so scary and uncertain.

Not of your control.

Please don’t get ahead of yourself and jump into tomorrow.

Simply be present.

Make the most of each moment.

Move forward.

For today.
