Living in the present

Working in the computer software business I am always making plans. When looking around the house I am always thinking about what I would like to do. When looking at my calendar I am always thinking about vacation and the future. If I am not thinking about the future I am thinking about the things I have done in the past.

Until recently I have not stopped and enjoyed the present. I started reading the book Peace in every step. This is a great book about how to recognize the present. You should stop and relax and enjoy life in the present.

Since starting the book I have been trying to stop wherever I am; take a few minutes and few relaxing breaths and make a smile. This is very relaxing and centers me in the present.

It is so easy to be wound up past and future. Rarely do we enjoy the present.
