This Moment

This Moment
This moment is what counts right now.  This very second ... and now this one! 

It's easy to get swept up in the stress and the chaos this time of year. It's even easier to set unobtainable expectations and strive for perfection in every way whether it's finding the perfect gift, having the perfect outfit or making sure your house is perfect for your company. 

As you get yourself crazed over almost everything, you overlook the current moment that you are in. 
You miss out on the smiles from strangers. 
You miss the hearing the laughter of the child in the store.
You miss the opportunity to dance to the music playing everywhere you go.
You miss seeing the acts of kindness happening all around you.

Don't miss anymore moments.  Enjoy every single one you have today, and tomorrow, and the next day.  For moments is all we truly have.
