Before It’s Gone

I’ve heard the saying often and even experienced it myself on several occasions: you don’t appreciate what you have until it’s gone.  Because I know this to be true, I want to make sure that I’m enjoying life’s daily moments.  Sometimes, when you find yourself in the middle of a project or a journey, it's hard to stop and appreciate where you are now when you feel you have so much more to go.


So, how do you make sure you are enjoying life’s moments?  

For me, when I’m writing in my journal, I make sure to note 3 specials moments in my day.  They could be moments about my family, friends, nature, work, someone I helped, etc.  Anything that I take note of on a day.


For today, my focus was on my family.  My special moment with my daughter was when she had her little fingers wrapped around one of my hands while I was nursing her.  My son’s moment was when we were walking home from the park and he was holding hands with my husband and I. For my hubby, our special moment was meditating together.  


We often live our life thinking that things will be better when….when the kids are older, when I’m married, when I retire, when I get a raise, when I have more money, when I have more time, etc etc.  Appreciate life’s perfect moments in the day and you won’t be living for a future life.  

Find out what’s important to you: your family, friends, making a difference, your purpose...and find ways to appreciate them before they are gone.  One day, we will all be gone.

Love this Amanda! I start every day by taking a moment and recognizing five things I am grateful for. I also do this at the end of a meditation by saying thank you for those things. I love your idea of journaling special moments and will incorporate this into my practice as well! Thank you
