Mindfulness is easier said than done. I am constantly queuing myself to come back to the moment. But, I am enjoying a much better mood recently and I believe that is due partly to my focus on the present moment.
Friday I helped my in-laws winterize their trailer. We were sitting down by the lake, when I noticed an unusually tepid wind. It was a cool fall wind at heart, but passing over the water, it gathered thermal remains of the recent late summer sun alternately warming and chilling my face and body. Rustling the leaves upon the beach, it bent the trees in a soft undulating motion. Stirring up ripples on the lake, the gentle breeze threw sparkles of sunshine bouncing across the surface of the water. I sat there motionless, with a clear mind devoid of meaningless thoughts, letting the wind caress my senses living very much in the moment.

Now that is in the moment. :)
And really, that's all we have isn't it?
