1 Dec 2025 ~ ENJOYING THE MOMENT

Today I returned to Stonehaven accompanied by Erich and Joné. We shared a pizza and enjoyed a delightful little outing. 

It reminded me that the present moment is all I truly have. Whatever happened in the past is in the past. It might have had a negative influence on my present situation, but the events of the past are forever gone. I might experience similar events in the future, but because it didn’t happen yet, who is to say that it ever will? 

When I sat there having lunch with two of my children, everything was okay, I was okay. Being present and enjoying the moment with them was great. The sun was shining on my face and the shadows were forgotten. 

Maybe this is what keeping your face to the sun is really all about. It is about being focused on the present, because the present is new every second of the day. In fact, life is a sequence of new moments. Instead of letting the moment that just passed set the stage for the next moment, just enjoy each moment as it happens.

Sarah’s roses are making buds again. Soon they will be going through all their different stages, face to the sun…
