I am consciously making efforts to be mentally, where I am physically. For example, on Saturday night our children wanted all of us to play Minecraft. I don’t really care for playing that and really would have preferred reading or watching something. But, I told myself that it was important to them and, of course, I want to do those things that are important to them. I decided to play and told myself to be present in that moment. What happened? I really enjoyed building my very own Minecraft house and I was proud to show it off. My daughter, Elizabeth, even helped me build the bathroom and fireplace.
Lesson learned. Be present. Enjoy the moment.
