In the Moment

Multitasking Planning and thinking Always jumping Two steps ahead How would I know To live in the moment As I juggle priorities And make sure Everything gets done On time and just right Strung along Feeling lucky If here and there I can live In the moment Once in a while Throughout my week Perhaps take a bath Without drawing up Another To Do list Living in the moment Seems like a luxury Only others can afford Feeling trapped I can’t slow down AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Posted on February 10, 2019

Line, I believe you have learned how to slow down now. If you have not, your bubbly bath is not long enough. I am a Type A so I fully can relate.

Yes I've gotten a little smarter with age and kinder to myself. I've actually learned to slow down a bit. Of course, retirement helps.

Life is to short to stress over it is gone in the blink of an eye, enjoy each moment, my sweet friend :-)

Yes indeed. Happily I can say this is an OLD snapshot of me and I live my life much saner now.
