Bob is giving me my blog topic and according to him, he's written the whole thing. Just like my Sunday talks when he gives me 30 seconds worth and thinks that's it. But the topic is reflecting on where we were last week at this time. Last Saturday we were flying to Miami from Cancun. We had to leave Jenn and Greg at the resort where the wedding took place a few days prior.I am thinking about the hours we spent looking for Jenn's dress; the bridesmaids dresses; shoes; jewellery; my dress and shoes; the hours they spent working with Westjet on the group travel details and with the wedding planner at the resort. It all culminated in a day of frenzied activity,joy and a wedding. So much thought and effort and some worry, went into the day's unfolding. It came, was enjoyed, and passed.
I can't but help but wonder whether the newly wed couple is experiencing some kind of let down after all the whoopla. I know I'm feeling like I'd like to live it over again, to absorb it more a second time around.
We do put so much effort and thought into the future, don't we? And yet Eckhart Tolle's philosophy of living in the NOW is so right on. We only have this moment, that's all we are guaranteed. So instead of looking backwards or forwards, just for today I will live this moment now.
