For Today

I will live in the moment.

I will soak in the now as I go through my day.

I will let the sun warm my skin and eat as many fun size snickers as I want.

I will not stress about money or whether or not you like me.

This moment is beautiful and in it I am free.

For today

I will listen to my body, get off of Facebook and take a nap. 

I will lick syrup off of my shirt and take pictures of my pregnant belly.

I will walk around in my white socks and try to not wonder how dirty they are getting.

For today

I will receive the love that is being offered to me.

I will listen attentively and speak truth.

I will give of myself.

For today

I will return emails and make jokes.

I will cross things off of my to do list, but not everything, because that is unrealistic anyway.

I will be present with you as you speak to me and not think about the other things that I could be doing.

For today

I will be thankful for my job and the kids who have dropped out of my class.

I will take pride in my slower waddle and comments of “ you are getting big”

I will cherish the life within me.

For today

I will take off the mask and allow myself to feel and hear in a new way

I will notice the constant white noise as I sit in silence.

I will empty my mind, while staying conscious of you.

For today

I embrace who I am. I love how God has created me and everything is right.

The yells of my children will not feel like sabotage, but I will be grateful for their jubilant expression.

I will change and challenge my jaded perspective and be happy with the smells of bacon and French fries. 

I will see myself covered with love, grace and beauty.

For today is passing.  Time is fleeting.  My moments of despair don’t change what is happening around me.  For today IS beautiful, sunny and bright.  Warm with a nice breeze. For today, this moment is everything I need it to be.  I am everything I need to be in this moment. 

For today

I will live in the moment.

I will soak in the now
