While my mind was so preoccupied with a false world, I missed out on so many encounters of love by not being fully present. Mostly though, I found myself anxious about my unknown future, and it prevented me from diving into the new adventure right before me. Sometimes I’d get so invested in my past that it was hard to move onto what was right before me. I was literally living in the present, but my mind was often someplace else, always wanting more.
I felt free to live and love in the present moment, which flooded me with joy and peace.įast forward a few years, and had begun to drift away from the present and found myself in a fantasy world sparked by too much time spent on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, texting, etc. I made a conscious effort to cast my worries and anxieties on the Lord and tried embracing every moment before me. It popped up repeatedly, so I stopped to ponder that concept. She often talked about “living in the present”. Years ago I read a book of life lessons by a spunky Franciscan nun after the heart of Jesus, Mother Angelica.
