enjoy every moment

Big question to answer. I want to live every moment, but I feel like i’m spending every moment thinking about how i’d like to live it. I dont know what I want to do, I dont know where I want to go, and I dont know where to begin!

i found myself locked out of myself in the rain today…..with no jacket or umbrella. so what did i do?

jump in puddles!

I added this goal last summer after a beach trip with my family. One of the people on the trip was my dad. He wasn’t at peace that trip – things hurt – and he was wheelchair bound. But we still took him out to the end of the boardwalk every day to watch the ocean. I didn’t know if he understood where he was some days – but I think he did. There was something powerful going on out there that drew his eyes to watch.

One day we labored and got him out to the end of the handicapped access. It took three of us. We just got him to the edge of the ocean when storm clouds rolled in and we had to drag carry and hoist him and his wheelchair back to the house.

He passed away one week ago tonight. I could write a lot of things about his last days. But not yet. Today I just need to say, he got every bit of goodie out of life—even his last three weeks. He’d had 3 strokes and couldn’t lift his head, yet he still made us feel loved, told us how much he thought of us, thanked us so much for caring for him, and made us laugh.

My nephew said mid-week, “Remember last summer when we drug him out to the beach? Aren’t you glad we did that?” Yep. I sure am.

Every bit of goodie. Thanks Dad. b.

I want to live every moment and enjoy it.

We can chose how we feel about everything that happens to us. It’s our reaction to the stimuli that causes us to feel the way we do. I would like to put a positive spin on the small, big, good and bad events in my life to make each moment enjoyable and just another event in the journey of life. We have a limited time, why not make it enjoyable.

I want enjoy every moment because they are unic and they never I’ll be back to enjoy other times .
hehehe
Because the life is short and we have to enjoy everyday like it was the last.

I’m very close to completing this. I feel the beauty of each moment much more often than before. Even if I’m depressed, or I’m in pain, or it’s raining heavily right onto my head. I feel the life brighter. There was time when I thought “just let it pass quicklier”, but now I realize how foolish it was. Life is so short, unpredictably short. No moment should be lost, and no moment should be underestimated, for time is the greatest treasure we have, and it shouldn’t be squandered.

In my more than five and two score years, I have enjoyed life, even enjoyed sadness in a way not bad, not indulging, but accepting. Why is this? I think my mother and father taught me joie de vivre. There may also be something genetic that gives me a predisposition to joyful being.

This moment is all there is. Let’s celebrate it. I will find the grain of good in whatever I’m faced with. Knowing I’ve called it into my experience for a reason. All is well.

Since surviving breast cancer in 2003, I have been enjoying life soooooooooo much more than before. But I have a problem realizing that I need to enjoy EVERY MOMENT of life. Any suggestions?
