Cherish Each Moment

I named this blog "Everyday Moments" to remind myself that the moments I live through each and every day count. Yesterday, I really got the message. Sometimes it takes a while before I really feel the words and I finally absorb their full meaning. I skimmed my entries in this blob and am surprised by my own words. Sometimes I don't recognize her. I know I'm not done with learning to cherish each moment yet. Who's kidding who, this will be a lifelong process. But I know now that I am on the path. I read a comforting notion that I was on the right path even when I didn't know it. Whew, that was a relief!

Lately, as I become more awake to life, I feel like I am seeing things for the first time. It's exciting when everyday things take on new meaning when seen from this new perspective. It is true what they say about the moments being more alive and have layers of depth. Everyday mundane things become an entirely different experience when I slow down and savour them, be grateful for them. I am still amazed at just how much I have to be grateful for, when I am looking.
