Lately this phrase has been reverberating within my soul:  "I may not come this way again."  It bubbles up on a Monday evening when I am trying to decide whether to have a fire in the fireplace...should I do it now or should I wait until the weekend?  Should I wait until I have friends and family here?  And then "I may not come this way again" becomes my thought and I light that fire.  Or on an every day evening I am trying to decide what to have for dinner... should I have a sandwich or should I splurge on the meal and have a gourmet dinner?  And, I think to myself "I may not come this way again"  and then I start making a delicious meal for myself.

Recently Unity of Fort Collins, Colorado posted this meme:  "Don't ever save anything for a special occasion.
 Being alive is the special occasion."


It struck me that this tied in exactly with my mantra of "I may not come this way again."  So why not make each and every day, moment, hour special?  Most times, I've found, that it's the little things that make a moment special...so why not take note of that special little thing and absorb it into our being as part of our whole?  A phone call or a text from a loved one can make the moment special.  And it is also a two-way street for we can invest in making someone's moment special too via a hug, a kind word, a recognition that they are special.

So, in these days of rampant Covid-19 and none of us know what tomorrow may bring...I will dive into this moment and make it special for "I may not come this way again."  Even though I may be by myself during major holidays, I will celebrate for "I may not come this way again."

Is it all not an expansion on the idea of learning to live in the moment???

I may not come this way again so I am going to live this moment.  Thank you Universe.  Thank you God.  Thank you Divine Intelligence.

Amen.
