Be Present

There’s work to complete.
I understand this.
Boy, do I.

But if you’re fortunate
to spend some time
with loved ones today,
consider
setting that work aside
and being present.

Don’t look at your phone.
Don’t check your emails.

Give those loved ones
an uninterrupted slice
of your time.

It might not seem
like a big thing
but it is.
It’s HUGE.

And years from now,
or even tomorrow,
you’ll appreciate it
and so will your loved ones.

Be present today.
