What does it mean to live in the moment? *the bird

A couple of years back I was laid up in the hospital wishing I wasn't here anymore. Finding every reason to hate life and my situation. It started sinking me deeper and deeper into a hole that I didn't think I could have pulled myself out of.
After several days in the hospital, I started to remember certain moments/ memories. Memories of joyful times, sometimes something as small as the smell of the ocean air or the taste of a corn dog from the carnival. I slowly felt the life came back to me. My will to live and experience more just grow and grow. After 14 days in the hospital, having 2 spinal cord surgeries back to back I wanted to get out of there and really LIVE!
So going back, what does living in the moment mean? To me, it means to be present, mentally, physically, and spiritually. Timestamp some of these moments so you will always have them even when vou are 90vrs only laving in bed reviewing your life. I promise you, it will be worth the time to stop to enjoy.

Much love, especially in times like these.
