Living the present

Sometimes in the midst of all the future planning and all, we pay too much attention on what's going to happen in the future and forget the simple act of living the present, enjoying each other's presence and just be happy with what we have and who we are. Right at this moment. Right now. Balance - the often heard keyword that so many talk about but only so few lived it out.

Couples these days spend tens of thousands in recreating the dream Hollywood / fairy tale inspired weddings, for just that one (maybe two, maybe three) day and but hardly gave any thought on how are they going to live together for the next 365x(n years) days ahead. People of our time could afford weddings so lavish that just one generation ago, our parents could not even picture it in their head. But I doubt if the family and marriage instituion is any more sacred or intact now than it was decades ago.

So for this week, let's be reminded to live the present.
