A work in progress...and the challenges of practising what you preach: A confession.

A moment I might have forgotten...but for the camera.

I'm forever counselling, advising, sometimes even (and this is pure pecksniffery), admonishing people to live in the moment. All I'm really trying to say is that we need to be present and not let the moment or the experience slip away because of any of life's many distractions.

It's all about situation awareness - life's too short not to have it. And life can be really short if you don't have it. I learned that during my time in the army.

There's more though. We need to be aware of and appreciate each moment and each situation, no matter what - and that means making an effort.

Sometimes, I seem to forget all this. Which is why sometimes my admonishing others is a lot of pecksniffery! There are blunter terms that I have decided I shouldn't use. :)

That's when it's good to have a camera around...to record the images we sometimes miss. They serve as a timely and necessary "wake up call".

Indeed, I guess some of us are "a work in progress"...sigh.

Working on it,

Duncan.
