The DISAPPEARING Act

November 1, 2008

Time comes, time goes.

Nowadays, time seems to mostly go.

Hard to beleive that we are entering the month of November. I mean, where did the past 10 months go? Have I really blindly walked through alomst 300 days this year?

I could swear I was just holding up a champagne flute toasting the new year in and swearing to a list of two dozen well intentioned resolutions. I can happily say I have crossed 2 off of my list, which leaves only 22 to toast to this year!

I came across this quote recently and it really struck a chord with me. We know we have time each day outside of work and sleep, but where does it go? I seem to be stuck in this rut of life that accounts for each day being a repeat of the one before; a lot like the movie Groundhog's Day!

"For disappearing acts, it's hard to beat what happens to the eight hours supposedly left after eight of sleep and eight of work." ~Doug Larson

Now, granted, this assumes that we work and sleep 16 hours. But even if we work a little more and sleep a little less, we are still missing out on some time.

So rather than wait for the end of the year to celebrate the new and swear to the resolutions that seem to creep onto my list each year, I am going to do something now, today. I promise to change it up a bit and step out of the ho-hum, same old routine and appreciate a few moments each day to do something. Maybe it's just a short walk to the mailbox and back, but it will be different now. I will take in the sounds of nature, the color of the sky, the smell in the air. But I need to account for each passing minute in that moment.

I NEED to be in THE moment!

What can you do?
