Wonderful post. I agree with what you say. We often get lost in ideas of what we should have or how we should be or what we like the world around us to be. Being present WITHOUT expecting that very moment to be different is a good start. And if that doesn't work (my case), I ask why I can't appreciate the moment. And if I do not know why, I love myself for not knowing how to love the moment I'm in and forgive myself for putting pressure on me. And puff - I breath out and can let go. Beautiful.
Cheers :D xoxo
