Time-'Traveling'...

       Here we are, on the last day of January, 2014. Doesn't seem possible, that we've, already, ploughed-through( pun, INTENDED!) the first month of the New Year. Whenever, I stop to contemplate time, and, it's elusive-nature, I am, reminded, as well, as to the importance of 'spending it' wisely. For, once a moment has passed, it is not to be retrieved, ever, again; And, for this reason, I find that I try to keep with an attitude conducive to being positive, upbeat, and, at peace. At this point in time, I feel that it is a waste of both time and energy to be otherwise. This doesn't mean to imply that I am ALWAYS 'tap-dancing' through life...no; although, I am, typically, a 'happy-camper'. It is only that I prefer being in alignment and harmony with the 'Universe', and, feeling attached to the goodness that prevails, within. In this, I feel that I AM spending my time well, and, am, less, apt, to look back, in disappointment, once a moment has gone...POOF, just, like that! Living a life, free of regret, due to an acceptance that all things can change, in a 'moment's notice', and, in knowing this, opting to opine on the side of optimism, has been a gift, better than most. So, on this last day of January, 2014, I will be, today, as I am, every day, grateful for each, moment that I am engaged in, all 86,400 of 'em! For, even as we seek repose, we are STILL engaged in LIFE and LIVING. Just Sayin'...
