From my mindfulness reading of the day:
"So while you are ruminating about the past, worrying about potential hazards in the future, or simply losing yourself in a maze of conflicting thoughts and concerns, you miss the only time you can actually live in: the present moment. Ruminating about the past or worrying about the future happens now, but while you are doing that, you miss all the other things that are also occurring now: a conversation with a friend, a flower's blooming, a blue sky, and a cool breeze. You also miss cues to your body may be sending you: tension in your shoulders and neck, tightness in your belly, a sense of fullness or hunger - information that helps you respond to your body's needs. If you can't live fully now, in the present moment, when can you? There's no time to live other than now, and no matter what difficult events happened in the past or might happen in the future, often in the present moment, things are just fine or at least quite bearable."
