Say WHO?
Listen in to “Say WHO?” Today’s Laugh on radio…
TODAY’S LAUGH: The other morning I woke DaMama up and a few minutes into the morning routine, she looked at me, frowned and said, “I know I know you, but I just don’t know who you are.”
I gave her a hint. “My name is the same as Jesus’ mother.”
DaMama smiled in recognition. “Aha! You’re Mrs. Christ!”
TODAY’S ENCOURAGEMENT: How wonderful to have a moment of laughter in the middle of it all. And I’d have missed that moment if I’d rushed on with the tasks at hand. Life with DaMama keeps me in the moment. (And taking notes, because she gives me great material!)
“Live in the moment” sounds easy. It’s not, with all the noise and clamor of life. So many distractions keep us from being where we are. But we miss a lot that way.
Living in the moment means we shut out everything but what life is offering us, right here, right now.
Wherever you are, be 100% present. While at work, work for all you’re worth. Give 100% to the task at hand. (Make the boss glad she hired you!)
When at home, be 100% present. Give your loved ones all of yourself. Laugh, hug, talk, and enjoy life together. (Make the family glad you showed up!)
Wherever you are, right now, clear the distractions. Forget multi-tasking. Give 100% of your focus and energy to this moment. Right here. Right now.
Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, BE there, with all your heart. 100%.
And in this moment, may you be blessed!
Oh yes, living in the moment. Thanks so much for the insight, Mary. I get so caught up in multi-tasking, I sometimes forget what’s really important. Whew! Today, I’m slowing down and paying attention. (Blessings to you, in this moment!

Oh Amen my sweet friend. I have faced this year (like you have with DaMama) that each day is precious with the ones you love. (We cherish each moment!

I heard this quote almost a year ago, I wrote it down and it hangs in my kitchen to help me: “I kept getting interrupted from my work, until I realized the interruptions WERE my work.” Gentle reminders that those three little ones want and need my undivided attention at times… that’s why I’m home. As I’m writing this, #2 just came up to me and asked me to help put her dolly’s jammies on and help put her to bed… I’m off! (Bless you all!
