Over the years I've shared a few of Melody Beattie's more brilliant moments. I try and start each day with a little of her inspiration. This morning hit home and I want to share it with you.
Make Each Moment Count

"A picture isn't taken in a moment," stated the brochure for the Cottonwood, Colorado, hotel. "It's taken of a moment."

It took me a long time to learn that important truth. I spent years trying to get my life together and keep it together, as if it were a solid chunk that could be arranged in a certain place, then made to stay there. It took be a long time to learn about moments.

In many ways, our lives are like a movie reel, made up of individual frames and single moments each one leading into the next. It is a waste of energy to try and hold on to the moments of the past. By the time we begin reaching for them, they're gone. It is just as poor timing to try to jump into moments that have not arrived yet - the future.

Stay in the present moment, the frame you're in now. That's the only moment where happiness, joy and love can be found. And remember to make each moment count.
Wishing everybody a Tuesday filled with moments that help keep a smile on your face! Check out Melody Beattie if you're interested in more inspiration. (This piece came from Journey to the Heart.) You need to feed your head and soul each day, just like breakfast!
