Living in the Moment

Welcome to Poppy’s Blog!

Thank you for joining me on this extra beautiful Sunday!

Today I will share a story about "Living in the Moment."

As I sit here and sip on my coffee wearing my worn-out dress that makes me happy,

I can see the clouds in the sky and hear the birds singing. After the death of my husband, I was living in the past and worried about the future that's when it all fell apart.  I was forced to stop and see things more clearly.  It was a blessing in disguise.  Nowadays, I do not take anything for granted because of the many losses I have endured.  Living in the moment can truly teach us the art and value of enjoying the small things in life.

Throughout our life journey you will meet a lot of people.  Some will give you advice and insights on how to live your life but when it all comes down to it, you must always do what you feel is right.  Always follow your heart, and most importantly never have any regrets.  We only have one life and I plan to make mine a fulfilling one.

A healthy, positive, and grateful mindset is the first thing you need.  Sit quietly for 15 minutes in the morning, watch the sunset, go for a hike, go for a picnic, find a hobby, or bird watch.  Find someone who likes the same things you do.  Recognize the value that people have added in your life and imagine their faces. Enjoy the small things in life because these are the moments that truly make our life rich. We are all on our own journey in life, and I hope you make it a good one. 

Try and live in the moment - means letting go of the past and not waiting for the future.  It means living your life consciously, aware that each moment you breathe is a gift.

I will end with this quote – Sometimes it is the journey that teaches you a lot about your destination.
