To be present in my own life

Day 1398 - I read in my book a suggestion to set the alarm on my phone to go off every hour as a wake-up call to remind myself to get back to the present; to be in the moment, to be present in my life. And so I did. I'm not there yet and too many times when the alarm goes off I'm too busy to take the time and be present, which is exactly why this little exercise is so important. We live our days in a mindless manner not really here but almost always elsewhere. So for a few minutes of every day I'm actually where I suppose to be... I am very thankful for my soft and warm bed in a chilly night as tonight. I am so very tired and this is just wonderful.
