Why does it seem like there is always something to wait for….sometimes small things sometimes large.  Waiting for a certain time, for the work day to end, for the day to start, for a check to clear, for a pay check to come in, for a decision……

Sometimes you get so distracted waiting for things that you forget to live in the moment, enjoy what you have right now…..you can’t live your life waiting for something else, even though sometimes you may really need or really really want those things. 

Sometimes you need to convince yourself not to dwell on the past or on the future…either way, you’re not living in the moment.  Always regretting is just as bad as always waiting.  If you are worried about a time that is not now then you will never really live.  Living in another time only prevents you from seeing the joys you have right in front of you.  On the same note, you must grab those opportunities and joys before they disappear and the option is gone, lost forever because you wouldn’t embrace it.  It is important to always see what is there in front of you and to enjoy it while you can.
