Be present

The 25 days of Christmas: How to keep in touch with your best self over the holiday season

Day #15-
 BE PRESENT IN THE MOMENT

Be present in the moment - don't compare today to the past or the future.  Stop dwelling on what could have been or what might be and pay attention to today.  Living in the past or future is dangerous.  Potentially you will miss something really extravagant that is right under your nose.  Use all of your senses.  What do you hear.smell.feel.taste.see?

Hear:: New Christmas songs from Noise Trade
Smell:: Nothing really.  That's not a bad thing.
Feel:: as soon as I'm done typing this, the yarn on my needles making this pattern.
Taste:: Warm apple cider
See:: Joel checking a project that is long overdue off his (self imposed) to-do list

It's nice to enjoy a few hours at home with Joel during such a busy season - that's what I call extravagant.            

Check out the new "me" page that I added today.  I created a wordle that describes who I am and what I am about.  I love it.  I hope you do too.
