Holding: 09.10.2013

I had a revelation.

It wasn't earth shattering. It didn't blow my mind. It was a quiet, simple revelation. One that I needed and will continue to hold on to.

I spend a lot of time planning, day dreaming, and otherwise thinking about tomorrow. I was so swept up in this notion of being prepared for what the next day will bring that I realized I had missed today.

I had missed the thousands of tiny moments and details that made today amazing. I was blinded by the glowing promise of tomorrow, next month, next year. Meanwhile, today, this moment, slowly went away, unnoticed, under appreciated.

Yesterday I did the same thing. I planned and scheduled. I prepared and I budgeted. I had hopes for the new day.

Today was the new day. The day I focused so much time on.

Instead of relishing it's arrival and enjoying every minute I had so painstakingly planned for, I started the prepping and planning all over again.

For tomorrow. Which will never come. Instead it'll be just like today. Unless I break the cycle. Let go. Focus. Enjoy the moments that make today so good.

I will focus on the present. On the details all around me. I will appreciate all the day brings so that tomorrow can be appreciated, too.

I will hold on to today.
