we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive

We can smile, breathe, walk, and eat our meals in a way that allows us to be in touch with the abundance of happiness that is available. We are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive.

THICH NHAT HANH, Peace is Every Step

Thursday morning at 8:30AM EST I will get the 1 year scan results. Not falling apart. Staying present. Staying present. This is the only moment there is to be alive.
