Be here now

I can feel my toes tap while my fingers dance across the keyboard. I remind myself to breathe and magically my chest rises and falls with an intake of new office air.

There are many things I could be doing, should be doing in my life. But for this moment I am giving myself a gift, calling attention the moment that is and not the one that should have been.

I spend too much time planning and getting wrapped up in a web defeated by unachievable goals.

I want to be free, mostly from the self restraint I channel into my own life. I realize now that this is possible. I can find happiness even in little moments that are my life.

So for now I am going to celebrate this accomplishment, as small as it may be exactly where I am.
