Day 599
Tomorrow will be the first day of June. It will also be my 600 day. I love a good coincidence. But today is still day 599. Staying where you are is indeed a practice. I have a tendency to look toward tomorrow. Today I need to accomplish x,y and z. This week I need to go here, there and over yonder.
This month my Master task list is long and tedious.. And so it goes. I'm not present. I'm contemplating and fretting about the future. What do I miss as I'm lost in tomorrow?
Why is day 600 more interesting than today day 599? It isn't.
The clock on my I-pad reads: 8:47 pm. It's Sunday night. I'm writing to you and to myself. I sit at the kitchen table. My husband is working on his art and playing music in the pool room. Q-tip our black and white kitty sits by the back slider and watches. The oven vent still runs over the kitchen stove. Our pantry door is open and the light is on. It isn't quite dark outside but the living room is getting there.
How much of each day do I miss by putting myself into the future? A future that may or may not ever happen. Right now, at this very moment, day 599 it is real. This is all that matters. Being here and awake is the gift.
Wishing you this moment,
Denise
