How do we ‘take’ time for living each day? Care to share?
I had to write a descriptive paragraph about this website and what we're trying to do here. The best I could come up with was to try to explain the importance of taking time each day to be aware of life, to really TAKE that time and TAKE hold of life, much as you'd grab onto a dear friend in a big hug.
How do you consciously take a good hold on your life and live it each day? Whether you have a Rolex watch worth tens of thousands of dollars, or one of a beautiful selection of Guess watches I was looking at online recently -- or a modest little "Wal-Mart special" sale wristwatch like I wear, you have the same 24 hours each day that I have to work with. It's really easy to let life's pace and business rob you of much of that 24 hours.
Since we all have the same 24 hours to work with daily, perhaps it would help if we share some of our successes at really grabbing hold of a special day and embracing it fully. What works for you? What do you do that's most effective when you lay on your pillow at night and look back on an especially worthwhile or rewarding day?
Personally, I find days most rewarding when I allow others to "intrude" on my carefully laid plans (those days when I actually HAVE carefully laid plans) and draw me away from myself and my activities. I don't really like it when that happens. But I always find myself feeling good about it afterward.
How about you? Any tips you want to share with all of us for grabbing onto life and taking time to live it today? Leave a comment and share with us, please.
