Wherever We Land

You know that feeling? When you’re so caught up in worrying about the future or dwelling on the past that you miss the magic happening right now? I used to be a master of that – a champion of “what ifs” and “should haves.”

But then something shifted. I realized that all I truly have is this moment, this precious sliver of time called “today.” Tomorrow is a promise whispered on the wind, and yesterday is a locked door, the key forever lost.

So, I made a decision. I decided to embrace the present, to savor each fleeting second. I started noticing the vibrant colors of the sunrise, the playful dance of sunlight filtering through leaves, the warm embrace of my wife, and children,  parents, and loved ones. I began to truly listen to the music of laughter, the whispers of one of God’s creations, the wind, the rhythm of my own heartbeat.

And you know what? It’s been the most incredible journey. I’ve discovered a joy I never knew existed – a joy in the simple things, in the beauty of the ordinary. I’ve learned to appreciate the messy imperfections of life, the unexpected twists and turns that make it an adventure.

Now, I’m not saying I never worry or reminisce. But when those thoughts creep in, I gently guide them back to the present. I remind myself that today is a gift, a precious opportunity to live, to love, to learn, to grow.

And right now, my focus is on bringing my van life dream to reality. Every saw cut, every nail hammered, every decision made brings me closer to a future filled with freedom and adventure. It’s a constant reminder that the present moment is where the magic happens – where dreams are born and transformed into reality.

So, my friend, join me in this present moment. Let’s savor the sweetness of now, the magic of today. Let’s dance in the rain, chase butterflies, and simply enjoy the ride. After all, this is all we truly have, and it’s beautiful.
