So, I get these daily reflections and although I don't read them everyday, I make an effort to read them regularly. Today's reflection really resonated with me and I've been thinking about it all day. The part of the reflection that hit home the hardest was the "idea of stopping life momentarily in order to achieve something." In other words hitting the pause button on whatever it is that is happening in order to enjoy the outcome. So not enjoying the now b/c you are waiting for what could happen (or not happen for that matter) in the future. I was always that person - the "when I do this, then I will do that" person. It's really the comma in between the 2 statements that mean something. That's why making healthy choices are so important to me and I am so hard on myself when I don't live up to my own expectations. When I was heavier, I always used the excuse that maybe someday I'll figure it out. Now that I've figured it out I want to enjoy the space that the comma represents and I want to enjoy the process of maintaining my weight - the here and now. This picture of Camille reminds me of just that.....life and all of its simplicities wrapped up in a little girl singing with her eyes closed b/c nothing else matters but this moment - right here and now. And boy oh boy is it good!
