Are you living or just floating?

I've often wondered, am I living or just floating?
Today, I know I am living. And when I look back, there are times that I just floated away with no clue how I survived the various responsibilities thrown at me.
But why is that? Why did I float? And more importantly, how come I was not aware of it?

A good friend of mine, had pointed out to me several times that I am a "live in the moment" type of woman. I never labeled myself as that, but now I do.

He's right. I do live in the moment.

So when the stars are lined up. Stuff at home is good. Work is good. Friends are good. Family is good. Then I am living.

But, that's not reality, eh! So when things shift, should that affect my balance?
Now I know. Because I live in the moment, I keep things close to my heart. And what triggers my pulse, affects me. Very deeply. So nothing is floating.

So to my amazing friend, thank you. And trust that when I am with you, I have grounded all my thoughts and living in 'our' moment together.
