Life is always showering us with many incredible Blessings. Some are obvious and other's are waiting to be noticed. Our days are filled with them. It's the roof over our heads, it's our children, it's our good health, it's the rain, the sunshine, it's even the smile from the stranger at the post office. In order to fully appreciate all our wonderful blessings, we need to open our eyes, our hearts and our minds. Otherwise, they will go unnoticed. And sadly, we'll end our days wishing for things we never realized were right under our noses.
To open your life to all your many blessings, stop what you're doing right now. Think about the last time you were the most happiest. Was it this morning, when you rolled over to see your spouse's sleepy face or when you heard your children call out to you? It could have happened last week, when you ran into an old friend, spent the afternoon with your mom or even spent some time doing something just for you. Whatever your last happiest moment was.....take a mental picture of it. Think of it as a snapshot of the perfect moment, your "Kodak" moment. Now, imagine staring into that snapshot and take in all the emotions of that experience. This is called being in the moment, living in the very moment something happens. 
Here's an amazing analogy expressed by our friend Giovanna Garcia of Imperfect Action..."To me, be in the moment is a lot like, if you could take photos of your life. And you live each frame of the photos, one frame at a time and each frame is detach from another. You would only look at the frame you are in at this very moment, not the frame before or the frame after."
Think of life as Photography. "Photography takes an instant out of life, altering life by holding it still." When you begin to think of your own life this way, you truly open up to the wonderful hidden blessings all around you. Take your moment today to Be in the moment, capture all the beauty that goes unnoticed and open up your life to it's many incredible possibilities.
Many Blessings....

Dear Hugo and Roxanne
ReplyDeleteThanks for the call out. I enjoyed your work as well. Life is full of "kodak Moments." Blessing is all around us, if we just open our hearts. We can all see a lot more of them.
Love, Giovanna Garcia
I couldn't agree more! I just found a little evening happiness staring up at the full moon for fifteen minutes. Talk about meditation. I feel amazing! Great post, as always! I so look forward to your posts. They always make me think, and always bring my mood to a positive place. Thank you! xoxo
