Recently I found something very special...my present. It had been hiding behind my past and so wrapped up in my future. It had dust build up because I hadn't really focused on it. Then one day out of the blue I looked up and my daughter was 5 years old and my son already 2. Where had that time gone? I had been walking through life with my head down and I had clearly missed out on something. What I realized was that I couldn't see my present because I was still focused on my past.
Now that I looked in this great big box, I am now staring at everything that I have been blessed to have. My life partner, my children, my home, my family, my friends and my job. I see my struggles but instead of pushing those to the side, I embrace them. I know that I will have situations that will make me want to stop opening the present but when that happens I will get on my knees and speak up. I know that God has his arms around me at all times. I will work and pray that I can except the situations and grow through them.
I know my growth depends on my present because I have to go through it. My present is just sitting here waiting for me to open and enjoy it. So I will say what I want without being hurtful. I will do what I want without being worried about judgment. I will give you my opinion without concern about how you will react because after all it is my opinion. I will be honest with myself and you. I will love with my heart so that you can see it in my eyes and feel it through your soul. I will be the greatest me that I know how to be. I will open my present without forgetting my past all while looking toward my future.
