living in the moment

When it comes to living in the present moment, people with ADHD are to be envied.  This is how most of them live – often to the exclusion of planning for the future or (sometimes) remembering well the past.

A writer for ADDitude, Emily Chen, has described living in the moment (with ADHD) and her heart, mind, and body as cats.
