Peplin: Live in the moment. Everyone says it but few do it. To live in the moment requires patience, contentment, a choice to lay aside fears and wholeheartedly jump into the moment in time just before you. Sometimes life can bring unexpected surprises that we aren’t ready for. Above all creatures, I think that dogs live in the moment to the fullest extent of the phrase. They take it all in and enjoy the moment for everything it’s worth, no matter what happens. We can learn a thing or two from them.
