Don't Forget to Breathe

"So don't forget to breathe
Don't forget to breathe
Your whole life is here
No eleventh hour reprieve
So don't forget to breathe"

This past year, I learned an important lesson.
Life is to be lived in the moment (not for the moment) - a moment that can last as long as a breath (perhaps, even a moment shorter than it takes for one to complete a breath).
In that moment, a lot can happen.
And each moment floats into the next.
Don't get caught up in the past - simply acknowledge how it's brought you to this moment.
Don't fret about the future - recognize you have choices within the moment to take you where you need to go.
Yet, where you end up - in that moment, there is always something... it may not be what you expected but when you step back and appreciate that moment for what it is, you might find it is exactly what it has to be.

Forgive the ramble - that's how these thoughts presented themselves to me and I wrote them down "freehand"
