Making the most of the moment

Today was truly one of those 'glad to be alive days' and it was like that right from the moment the alarm went off. If the truth be told, I was awake anyhow but not wanting to open my eyes - I was savouring every moment. When I did open my eyes though , I could see the blue sky through the curtains and that was all I needed to propel me out of bed and into the walking gear. I hit the streets at 7.15 a.m. and it was bliss. Not that many folk about, clear air, space and I loved it. It's such a great start to the day.

Breakfasted, showered and feeling great I opened the door just after 9.00 to Ginny who I had not spent any really good quality time with for ages and we proceeded to catch up while enjoying the sun in the garden as we sipped on glasses of water - the simple things in life but how precious they are.

Today I did what I wanted to do. Today I enjoyed the sunshine and the lack of deadlines. Today I took time out for others who I wanted to spend time with.

Recently there have been incidents regarding health, mostly of others which pull you up fast and make you aware of how we do not know what is in store for us. In so many cases, people need to go through traumatic times to realise how precious things are. I am trying to learn from that and live in the moment and make the most of what is on offer. Today it was the sunshine. I shall try and do the same tomorrow. Are you making the most of things?
