This is it!

Yep, that's all there is.  An interesting way to bring mindfulness to every moment.  I know for myself, when moments are especially fabulous, I can go down the path of wanting to hold onto it because I know it won't last; spending a lot of energy wishing it would.  Instead of just being in the moment.  And of course, when moments aren't so swell, we tend to think they'll last forever.  As we all know, each moment passes for better or worse.   Some last longer than others, some are joyous, others not so  much.  Jon Kabat-Zinn coined the phrase "this is it" in his book "Wherever You Go, There You Are."  A wonderful read to help bring mindfulness into our everyday lives.  So as the holiday season gets underway, take a moment to breathe, find stillness and say "this is it!"
