To savor life or is it a burden? 

To savor life, to have that attitude towards life requires gratitude, otherwise life becomes a burden. I know many people who live in the burden mode. I notice the burden feeling inside of me from time to time. It is at those times that I consciously add gratitude to my thought process and words. It is good to think about what I am grateful for and to hear myself say the words.

I was at a friend's birthday party on Saturday and at one point he asked everyone to say what they were grateful for. After he had said what he was grateful for, no one else spoke up... even I only quietly said what I was grateful for to the guy next to me. The guy next to me was grateful too and he did not stand up either.  No one else announced what they were grateful for to the whole group. This is what is normal in our culture. It was not comfortable.

To live a life of joy and satisfaction, we must learn to be grateful for what we have. It adds a savoring quality to life. I notice how I can easily savor each moment once I slow myself a little and take in what is around me. I am grateful for so many things and especially for this moment, right now. Nothing is better than now. I know all too well that this is all that I have. The past is gone and the future is only something that keeps us from living now.  

We cannot be satisfied in the future if we do not learn to accept the now. Living in the "I'll be satisfied when" thinking, keeps us in the burden of the moment. The burden of quotas, profits, losses, what we do not have and what we will have someday keeps us from living in the "savoring life" mode.

When we live in gratitude for all that we have, and for each moment, we can see life's gift. We can see the sparkle in each other's eyes, even if it's hidden in an angry moment or an upset.

We are all part of this miracle that we live in, called a Galaxy, a Universe.  

Remember that? We live in a galaxy, in a Universe. 

I am grateful to be a resident of a Universe. Despite what things look like to my rational mind, I have decided to live only in the grateful state of savoring each moment. To look beyond appearances, anger, upsets, delay, etc. I have decided to only see the miracle in each of us.

Try this attitude for a day, then a week maybe and then perhaps 21 days, long enough to make it a habit. See what happens. See the miracle in your challenges and even in those that challenge you.  

If that doesn't put a smile on your face, perhaps nothing will.

Maybe you've decided that this is a burden too.  

It's ok, I'll still be smiling, inside and out. 

Savor life, savor now, it weighs less.

Gratefully yours,
Steve
