I have fond memories I\u2019m reminded of at every turn, and I just want to go back and relive them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But I\u2019m living <em>now.<\/em> I have a life <em>now. <\/em>It\u2019s not just all in the past. I have so much to live for, so much to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I want to be conscious of this in my life. I embarked on adventures of a lifetime last fall, but I\u2019m embarking on <em>more<\/em> adventures of a lifetime this fall!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Am I leaving the country to do so? Nope. Am I leaving my house for this adventure? Not so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Will I still love it, if I let myself let go of the past and run into the future?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have learned anything about living in the moment during your life, I would gladly hear the story. Whether you\u2019ve learned some valuable lessons or you know what happened when you learned to embrace the present, it would be helpful to hear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every week I give my thoughts about life and the Lord. So let me ask you: what do you think? What wisdom can you share? If you have more life experience than me (which isn\u2019t hard to do, considering all you have to beat is 19), what have you learned?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do you live in the moment?<\/p>\n<p> <a class=\"continue-reading-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.duchessmennonite.ca\/index.php\/2026\/09\/secretarys-corner-93-september-10\/\"><span>Continue reading<\/span><i class=\"crycon-right-dir\"><\/i><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[13,199,12,200],"class_list":["post-1984","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-secretarys-corner","tag-blog","tag-liveinthemoment","tag-secretary","tag-whatdoyouthink"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.duchessmennonite.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1984","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.duchessmennonite.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.duchessmennonite.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.duchessmennonite.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.duchessmennonite.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1984"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.duchessmennonite.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1984\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1985,"href":"http:\/\/www.duchessmennonite.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1984\/revisions\/1985"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.duchessmennonite.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1984"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.duchessmennonite.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1984"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.duchessmennonite.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1984"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
