Here and Now

"A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery while on a detour."  Unknown

I like this saying because it's about living in the moment. Being here and now.

Too often we speed through our busy lives like rats on a treadmill. We're moving fast and going somewhere else - anywhere but the present moment.

And we just know that things'll be better when we get there. But when we get there we're already focusing on the horizon. To that next great place up the road or around the corner.

And by living this way we pass through life paying little attention to the beauty of the this moment. We miss the precious time that God gave us. We essentially waste our lives.
