Making it count

I've been coming to the conclusion over the last while that it really doesn't matter what you do, if you are not fully aware that you are doing it.

Well duh!! Mindfulness!!!

But as I sit here in the evenings, writing about what I am grateful for, and musing about my day, I often wonder where the day went, and if I really did make the most of it.

This being in the moment and fully engaging with whatever you are doing ain't as easy as it sounds, although it most definitely is all it's cracked up to be! It's just that everyday living tends to get in the way.

But, I am not going to give up on it, in fact I am going to try even harder to make it count.

I am not, and nor will I ever be, a master. But I will be a student, and I will practice being mindful as often as I remember to, and I will get better at it! I will not, however, beat myself up about not getting it right as often as I would like to and finding the day slipping away from me.

Today I am grateful for moments of clarity and moments of determined focus!

Gratefully yours.
