A New Year
Another year
Has come and gone
Another year
Is coming
This year
I hope to cherish
The moments
Embracing and Accepting
Each opportunity
And life experience
Sometimes when I am at my best I truly embrace my present experience, without looking forward ... to what I might be doing ... or backward ... to what I did or might have done. Experiencing what I am doing right now seems to bring a level of satisfaction that I cannot experience otherwise.
The other day in the dentist's chair I found myself wishing the ordeal was over. It seemed to make it worse. I instead concentrated on the healing the periodontist was doing. It seemed to help.
I think it is nice to look forward to something but sometimes that may actually reduce the enjoyment of our current situation if we do not accept and embrace the present.
Sometimes when our brain starts buzzing we spend more time thinking about what happened in the past or what may happen ... and miss what is happening.
