Have you seen the latest book by Achim Nowak called The Moment:
A Practical Guide to Creating a Mindful Life in a Distracted World? Yesterday was my cancer care day, and I had a
list of questions for my oncologists about my decreasing stamina and weight
loss. Since November, I have had to learn to better pace my walking and
physical work and sit down when I am tired.
This has been harder on MaryBeth and friends that have never really seen
me out of energy, but for me, it has become my way to stay engaged in life, just
slower.
As I sat in a treatment room waiting for my oncologist I
pulled out The Moment and started rereading the section on craving meaning. Purpose, meaning and passion have always been
major drivers in my life, and as I read, I felt most of my life I have lived these
words. Achim talks about Barbara Fredrickson
concept of “micro-moments of love”, or the moments of pure positive energy, we
share with others. I reread these pages
several times realizing I was having an epiphany. In my new slower world, I am learning to
fall back in love with each micro-moment of life. Fall in love with life’s micro-moments
today.
