This Beautiful Moment - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Take in the beauty of this moment and let it fill you. But do not try to hold it.

For as soon as you seek to possess it, the beauty is lost. When you grasp it too tightly, you lose the ability to experience it.

Let this beautiful moment flow toward you, and then let it flow away from you as the next moment comes to take its place. Allow the beautiful experience of life to be born again and again.

The real value of this moment is in the way you live it. Live it fully, lovingly, gratefully, and there is no need to hold on to it, for the best of it will always be a part of you.

Each moment offers its own special treasure. Let go of your need to judge, to analyze, to possess, and simply experience the wonder that is yours right now.

You are free in this moment to live, to create, to give, to grow. Lovingly open your eyes to the abundant possibilities, and dive gently into this beautiful moment.

-- Ralph Marston

Right now is a beautiful moment in my life. For whatever reason, I find myself in a place of beauty and peace, outside and inside. I know that life is ever changing, and that this moment will become another new moment sometime along the way, but I truly am treasuring what I have today, where I am today and how I feel today, knowing that is all part of who I will be tomorrow.

Hugs,

Thank you for sharing your inner beauty (((Ann)))

Yesterday was filled with worries, but today I made a conscious effort to cast them aside. I went shopping (for me) and spent time with my parents and family. I focused on the beauty of this day, the flowers, the sky, and the love that surrounds me.

hugs,

deedee
