Have you ever wanted to hold on to a time that you enjoyed so much and thought of how perfect it was wishing it would stay and as much as you were enjoying it you knew that it was brief so it made you sad? Living in the moment is such a gift and I realized more than ever how true this was when our new aquaintance turned to me and said “this moment will never come again” …..I heard her loud and clear but asked her to repeat what she had just said to me…..she did and my heart skipped a beat and my skin crawled with emotion along  with my eyes filling with tears….finally someone who actually said these words out loud….this is how I feel so very often.We may never meet again and on the other hand time will only allow us to find out……but what is so wonderful is the time we spent together….four wonderful folks who shared their very personal stories with us in such a short amount of time because we simply jived.Drag….a drag I thought wishing we had some more time together….such a gift to meet complete strangers that you feel so comfortable with.Now back to that topic as she said “this moment  will never come again”….we were sharing personal stories that strangers typically wouldn’t share a mix of both serious and very funny.I glanced over to capture yet another little memory to store away of the men chatting away as if they had known each other for years  and they all seemed to be so enjoying their conversation….those memories  have been stamped in my mind…never to be forgotten.The wind was gentle,the air was warm and the scent of the Caribbean Sea was floating through the air with the music playing gently in the middle of the outdoor lobby.Nothing else mattered at the moment….enjoy each precious moment and just being present.Appreciate every meeting no matter what the occasion….embrace the moment as it will never return again.Live each day the best you can! It will never show itself again.
