Staying in the Present

I do better when I keep things simple and just stay in the present, be aware and not try to analyze or understand.  As I say in the book I am publishing, “understanding is not required” and if I try to put my life into a simplistic logical, cause and effect paradigm, my effort tends to take me out of the present.  Just having a sense of gratitude, faith and staying in the present works well for me.
