Always Wanting More
I’m on a
week-long retreat working with a group of incredibly smart and compassionate
people. Yesterday, we took a break and together we all cooked a fantastic meal.
We sat down to eat and collectively enjoyed the symphony that played in our
mouths.
Somewhere
between the umms and ahhs we started planning the breakfast for the next day.
We hadn’t finished the food in front
of us and we were already trying to eat another meal.
I pointed it
out and we all laughed at how easy it is to step outside of a moment.
So today, I’d like you to be where
you are.
Savor the
moment you are in.
Love your
children as they are because they were born loving you.
Be present
in your now and think about tomorrow then.
Don’t worry
about the fact that you have to go back to work, relax right now.
Be grateful
for this year; it has not yet ended and don’t wait to be healthy tomorrow.
DO IT NOW.
It’s fine to want more, but as my
mother used to say, “Learn to leave well enough alone.”
Be you, be well, be
enough.

Wise words for this very moment.
