Mark Twain

A good friend of mine sent me an article to read yesterday.  It was titled "The Art of Now-Six Steps to Living in the Moment."  It's a very good read..at least I loved it.   The quote that struck me the most at this very moment in my life is

 "I have known a great many troubles, but most of them have never happened."~Mark Twain

It's so true.  I believe with all my heart that we worry too much.  I have had the most problems getting to sleep lately.  Why?  Because I let my mind explore every problem I have encountered in my day, that I may encounter tomorrow.  I think constantly about how I will finish something I've started.  The thing is I may not finish it, and I may.  Who knows.  The point is, we are to be living in the moment.  Enjoying this PRESENT moment in our lives.  So often, we get caught up in the happenings of the past, worrying about where our future is going...but like the article stated: You're already here.  This is the moment.  I really enjoyed reading the article and trying SO hard to remember this as I move through this journey of my life. 

People are constantly saying "Don't worry about things that are out of your control."  But if that is the case, then we should not be worrying about anything because in reality everything is out of OUR control.  We are never truly in control of our lives.  It's like the old saying goes "If you want to hear God Laugh, tell him of your future plans."  God is in control of our life, we are merely just here for the fun and the journey. 

And how happy am I that I get to be on this journey with three AMAZING people right now....

Have a wonderful day without worry! Love, Jess
