Truly alive

To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.

It is easy to fill our life with mundane and petty urgencies. Time managers describe life as a glass jar, into which we place sand, pebbles, and larger
stones.

Many elements of our daily routine qualify as sand. Love, relationship, and a robust sense of wonder are the stones that are difficult to fit in the jar if
we let sand fill it up first.

Make time for life-filled activities first. Is it pragmatic??? Honestly, not always. A few to-do list items may get lost in the shuffle.

The adjustment may be awkward, but our life becomes richer, our mind more alert, and we are happier as we complete our other TASKS.

Releasing all our concerns, we have to take this moment to reflect in wonder and gratitude - TO LIVE!
