Concentration

I know that the most rewarding way to live is to be in the moment, live in the present. However, it never seems to make any difference if I know something to be true intellectually...actually doing it is a whole different thing.

There are lots of wonderful things scheduled in the present and near future...the kids are coming next week, several fun parties this weekend, etc. and still when I let my mind float it lands in Florida, even though that trip is 6 weeks from now. I mean it re ally is in Florida. When I think of going to the grocery store I think Publix. When I think of exercise class I think of my PD group in Florida. I got the car ready (oil change, 15000 mile check up) yesterday!

I have plenty to do right here, some of which I dread doing (estate planning details); so maybe I am just trying to avoid my to-do list. But I have never been able to train my brain to live in the moment. Anybody out there who has mastered this skill? Tell me the secret, if you have.

I noticed that no one responded to that request! Guess you're not alone.
SO - Florida it is!
