This Is The Day

November rolled in with cooler temperatures. My fall porch decorations were pulled out of storage and planning for Thanksgiving ramped into full gear. Another fall in full swing. Wasn’t it just January? How did this year go by so quickly????

Time waits for no one. Which can cause issues for a planner like myself. I realize that time is precious, and I want to make the best use of my time. Now, it is certainly healthy and appropriate to plan for the future. But my constant need to know what’s next has caused me some big anxiety. I fret and I worry. I worry and I fret.

Thankfully, the good Lord has placed people in my life that can help me course correct when I’m veering off track. I was given a reminder to be fully present IN the present. The future will worry about itself. In my quest to plan, I have successfully planned to neglect the current state that I am in.

So today, I am grateful for today. I am thankful for this very moment. The air that I am breathing. The clothes on my back. The roof over my head. My family and friends. The click and clack of the keyboard. My cat pawing at my ankles. This IS the day that the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it! (In my Tomica voice). #wepreach
