Every day of our lives we are surrounded by gifts. The people we meet, the flow of our day, the wonders of our natural environment even if it’s just a glimpse on the way to work . . . the list is endless. And what about today – today in this place, time and moment. Are we so consumed with day-to-day routines, stuff, post-it-notes, outlook calendar commitments that we aren’t in tune with the essence of this very important day of our lives? How and what we create today can affect all the rest of our days in this journey called Life. The process of growth, awakening, moving forward in a direction we choose to explore, pursue or hope for starts with today. Today is this moment, this place, and the wonderful gift of life. Moving forward is a new beginning, one small step. Today is here now, just waiting for us to open and experience the many gifts of today. Embrace your life, this moment and start moving forward today.
