Missing something?

It's a bit hard not to be lured in by the talk of Royal Weddings, even as I write this I'm waiting for some live coverage to come on.  I haven't actually paid any attention to the whole thing until now.  Just as everyone starts 'facebooking' about watching it and all the headlines are centred on the big day there is definitely a feeling of not wanting to miss out.

This is a bit of a theme in my life, and probably many of you too,  always curious about everything that is going on least I miss out on some action, a vital piece of information or a good time.  I'm a shocker for talking to one person while surreptitiously listening into others conversations with the result of not actually getting the full picture of anything and everything thinking I'm not interested in them or just bloody rude! 

Lately I have aimed to focus more.  Listen to one person (easier said that done with two little ones I'll tell you), attend to just one task at a time (hmmm that one isn't going too well as paragraph one will attest) and taking note of how my actions are impacting on my life (work in progress).  My aim?  To be aware. 

Aware of what I eat, aware of how I talk to myself, aware of how I talk to others, aware of how active I am, aware of my future, aware of my choices, aware of now and aware of all the wonderful things that happen everyday in my life which can be missed in the rush to 'not miss out'.
