I am always looking for wise words and quotes to remind me of the importance of counting our blessings and living mindfully in the moment.  So it was perfect timing for me to come across a quote by the late Psychiatrist Elisabeth Kubler-Ross:

 "There are dreams of love, life and adventure in all of us.  But we are also sadly filled with reasons why we shouldn’t try.  These reasons seem to protect us, but in truth they imprison us.  They hold life at a distance.  Life will be over sooner than we think.  If we have bikes to ride and people to love, now is the time. "  

Remembering to seize the moment by showing appreciation to someone you love; spending a quite intimate moment with your life partner; taking a walk or bike ride; cooking a scrumptious meal for yourself and/or your family and friends; or whatever brings a smile to your face, helps us to enhance our daily lives by living from our hearts and experiencing the beauty and grace of the moment.  So take a copy of this quote... put it on your computer screen, bring it to work, share it with a friend, or post it on the door you leave your home by...and remind yourself that you can choose to live for today by seizing the moment...Enjoy!
