Lessons from a Five Year Old - Being Present to the Moment

By
Real Estate Agent

Last weekend I took my five year old niece Carmen...... to her soccer game at Fairfield Island. My brother and sister-in-law were working and I volunteered....I'll tell you - I'm not sure what the score was but I was mesmerized by the concentration, intensity and passion that I saw ...and was lucky enough to capture a couple of expressions of it...

Oh to have that kind of drive and single-minded focus' eh?  It brought back memories of my daughter Sarah 10 years ago........same game, same determination........

I felt energized and inspired......To give WHATEVER it is that you're doing at the time Your Complete Attention.......to be Present to the Moment....one Moment at a time.......Savor it, Enjoy it........Give it all You've Got! :-)

Donna - she is a cutie pie and being an auntie provides a certain freedom that being mommy doesn't ! :-)

Hi Liz - what a great post and great message/reminder to us all.  It's funny how many great lessons children can teach us adults - I have been learning a lot from my 10 year old these days that are so valuable to me.  I think your niece is adorable too! ~Anne Marie
