Imagine living one moment to the next, thinking only of the moment we are in. That wouldn’t preclude making plans for the future, but it would mean that we’d be present in the process of making those plans. We sometimes forget to appreciate the bounty all around us. Stopping to acknowledge our good fortune fortifies and prepares us to navigate through the turbulence and bumps on our path. Luckily, the best way to mitigate the pain of what we don’t want just requires a bit of practice: Being grateful for…

What we do have.
