"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away." - Anonymous
This quote has always spoken to me...and here is why...
Often times people are so concerned with "what's next" we forget to look at "what's NOW". I'm usually too concerned with what needs to be done, or with future events, I forget. I forget to enjoy the present moment. I get so caught up in what will be that when I finally do stop I'm quite often surprised at what has been! I'm in a steady battle with myself to live in the present moment, and look to the future as opposed to living in the future.
Taking time to stop and smell the roses while we journey through life may seem insignificant along the way, but in my experience as a hospice nurse, it's all those roses we gathered that create a beautiful bouquet, its those moments that make life worth living.
