A New Perspective


                For at least the past few weeks, I have felt like I land on a Wednesday and wonder “Where did the week go?”  Further, it would be mid-morning and I was already looking forward to the evening.  With this attitude, a month would quickly pass by.  I say all this from experience, and I wonder if anyone reading this over-anticipates as well? 
                I’m beginning to retrain my mind to live in the present moment, and with gratitude.  I remember days in the monastery where I would pray, “Thank You Jesus, because it’s Monday!”  So I wish to make this my resolution.  There are exciting things coming up, but I will not let it keep me from focusing on the present things I am doing right now, in this room, in front of my computer.  A whole nother perspective is discovered this way, whether the day is anticipated or not.  And that is also how I can let God into these times.
