We spend so much of our time making plans and looking forward. Always waiting for the next thing. A long time ago I heard a saying that said "Life is something that happens when you are planning something else". Don't know who said it but it really struck a chord with me. Are we always waiting for the right time....wishing the time away....lamenting the past.....planning the tomorrow that may never come. Do we forget about today.....to take in the day......be grateful for the day. We can't always have the time to sit and appreciate but we can take that breath and be in the moment. We can feel the wind....feel the sun....see the stars and yes take that moment to breathe and relax and be!
I know how life and all its ups and downs can take away from letting us live. I was definitely guilty of existing and not living. Living does mean letting go of the negative feelings and embracing instead an attitude of laissez faire.

You are responsible for you so it's time to take that responsibility seriously and look after yourself physically and emotionally.
