Learning to Live in the moment

This has always been something I struggle with. I guess it's because I am slightly OCD and have to have everything planned out etc.  But lately, I have learned to not just live in the moment, but not stress about what the future holds.

Maybe, it's because I am going to go to UM and have the long term future is too much to contemplate. Or maybe it's because I don't know if I believe in "the one" not sure. But either way, I may start to analyze things, but I easily just let it go.

Men do this. They live in the moment ALL THE TIME.  I have always said that if we could learn to behave more man-like (no, not burping and farting at will) but not to analyze things. It really is an easier way to live. So, I shall enjoy the month of October. Because thus far, it has been truly fabulous.

I hear ya, man. I'm a planner, and it is nearly impossible for me to live in the moment. I'm trying, but it's hard, especially when I second and triple guess every decision I make.

LOL, Rita. I thought you wrote Learning to Live in Vermont!

Either way, I'm always 40 steps ahead so trying to live in the moment is about as foreign to me as living in Vermont!
