This Very Moment


Happiness is living
in the present
for in the present
you can take advantage
of the opportunities,
the people, the places
and the events
that are happening
right now
this very moment.

Making the best of every moment in the present makes for many happy past memories in the future.  Smiles.  Enjoyed.

Short, to the point, and very wise. What's not to like?

A resounding truth, James... I should hang this on the wall by my front door.  Thank you for a little, much needed enlightenment.

well said - my daughter not that long ago said to me whilst I was working myself into one of my anxious moments "mum don't worry about what may happen, just live in the moment" she's right & this is what I try to do.
Wonderful words James.

It is the harmony of the universe
