Live in the Moment

168 / 365
Earlier in the summer, I noticed that Larry Janesky, a daily life poster, had a contest where his readers could submit a post. I have received his daily posts for sometime now. It's nice to take few moments each morning and read his thoughts. Some of them touch me. I decided to write something for this contest. So, one morning before going to the gym, I wrote a few thoughts at the computer. But I deleted everything. I couldn't get the right message. Finally, I looked at the time and knew that I had to go or I would be late to my gym class, so I wrote a simple message that I wanted to share….and hit the submit key.

The first thing I read this morning was this message in my in box: http://www.thinkdaily.com/2012/08/01/the-winning-think-daily-message-is/

I won! I had actually won. I still can’t believe….that my words were chosen and are being read by everyone for today’s Think Daily message.

Words that describe me today: happy, thrilled, surprised, honored, touched, shocked, and humbled.

This is a picture of my computer and the simple words that I wrote.

Thank you for allowing me to brag.
