Stay Connected

I have a self help CD series in my car. I listen to it when I drive to and from work- and pretty much everywhere when driving alone. When friends are in the car I turn on the radio to avoid possible jokes about how nerdy I am. Because I am pretty nerdy and the CD series pretty much proves it.

Anyway, I was listening to it this morning on my way to church and a lady was talking about why she loved riding her motorcycle. And I felt like I heard myself talking.

There is never a time when I feel more connected. For safety reasons I have to be away of everything around me- the cars, the road, the trees, the smells, the EVERYTHING! I feel like I am a part of everything that is going on around me and I love that.

As I was being nerdy listening to the lady talk on the CD I wished that I could find ways to be as just as connected to every part of my life as I am while riding a motorcycle.

I am working on being connected to each moment.

I wonder what it would be like to be connected to every moment. To not be distracted by the cell phone or things that happened at work or the problems in a current relationship. You can't think of any of that while on a motorcycle. You can't call a friend when you get bored with the silence. You become comfortable with the silence. And you start to like it.

I am thankful for my motorcycle. I am more thankful for the moments I am connected to the moment. Those moments will become more frequent as I use my energy focusing on it.

I have a beautiful life and the best way to enjoy it is living moment by moment.

Yay!
