Have you ever examined your life and determined that everything is perfect? Yeah, me neither. There will always be something to complain about or find fault with. There will always be challenges that lie ahead, things to learn, experiences to be had. Life is never finished being lived, even when it is over. Time, in all its rapid movements, never seems to allow anyone the chance to catch up. It is an ever-flowing river running into the ocean of foreverness. Sometimes it's hard to focus on what you do have. Instead, we are always looking to the future. Tomorrow may be another day, but today is all you'll ever have to work with. It may always be wanting in something, but if you don't appreciate it for what it is, you'll miss it. Every moment is worth savoring if only for the fact that you'll never have it again. My name is Lisa and I am grateful for this moment. My daughter is sleeping, my nephew is running amuck, my Christmas decorations are lighting up the room, and I can't imagine an anything else I'd rather be doing than expressing my gratitude for everything I've been given today.
