In an instant...

HI Everyone,
Today will be another beautiful day and I'm sure we're all looking forward to enjoying it. As usual in New England, that can always change 'in an instant'.
Why the title of this post? Is it really about the weather? No.
In the past few weeks we've had 1 client diagnosed with cancer, one associate instructor in a pretty awful car accident and one class manager who has to have her foot almost completely rebuilt due to what she thought was only a slight injury. Thankfully, they are all on the mend and will be ok, albeit with some long recovery times.
And, all of them (or their friends or family) have said, "Wow, it's amazing how your life can change in an instant."
Just like the rain can blow in and 'ruin' a beautiful, sunny day-injury or illness can blow into your life or the life of someone you love. We know that from Ally's cancer last year and we have learned (the hard way) to appreciate every, single day and moment.
So, for today, stop and LOOK at the color of that sky-it's an amazing blue.
Stop and look at your children-they are running crazy, being silly, making you nuts-but they are learning about their life, their bodies and the world around them. That's amazing, so see it through their eyes.
Stop and really TASTE your lunch today instead of eating at your desk and rushing through. And take that lunch OUTSIDE today and enjoy the aforementioned sky!
Stop and look around at all the things you DO have, instead of kvetching about what you do not have.
When you stop and really 'BE' in the moment, you'll find all sorts of things to enjoy. It'll bring you peace and joy.
So, what will YOU enjoy today? Share it here...oh, and come to class and we'll enjoy some 'sweating' time together!
