― Mother Teresa
Sitting in our beautiful Rosh Hashanah services last week made me realize just how important it is to take notice of today, be aware of these precious moments, and while knowing these seconds, minutes, hours, days all turn into weeks, months and years, we need to embrace as much as we can right now, today.
Today! I'm writing this at the end of the weekend, hoping to sleep well and preparing for my work day tomorrow. It is hard not to think ahead, make plans, look forward to what's next or even worry about how it will all get done. Meditation, deep breaths and making those plans will help me stay focused today so that I can grow tomorrow.
Today! I want to accept.
Today! I want to understand.
Today! I want to embrace.
Today! I want to breathe.
Today! I want to show up.
Today! I want to love.
Today! I want to be compassionate.
Today! I want to comfort.
Today! I want to see the best in others.
Today! I want to see the best in myself.
Tomorrow is tomorrow and I will live it as uniquely as yesterday.
Yesterday is gone and I will let go so that today is all its own.
As I walk into shul to stand with my community for Yom Kippur, I know I am not alone. And that is the essence of my daily gratitude.
Shana Tovah.
