Being present is a continuous challenge for me.
"Remember, Be Here Now."
That was a somewhat popular book I read when I was a teen
It is described as a countercultural bible for hippies LOL. I liked it.
Still, paying attention is necessary, depending on what one hopes to accomplish in life. I don't consider myself to be very worldly. I was not ambitious in the way a lot of people seem to be. I learned early how to zone out, which is not always a good thing... retreating from the pain of life did help me survive the things that might have otherwise killed me, even when I was surreptitiously trying to kill myself to escape the pain of life. That sounds odd. Sorry! But yeah, I can zone out easily. Hours pass. Days go by. Years. My life is passing me by. What am I doing??? Haha. Seriously.

I think it's a blessing! I love zoning out.
Yeah.. I do that some times.. If people want my attention they need to call out my name first and that will get my attention immediately then i am sure to hear all that they say after that.. But people often just start talking and assume that because you are near and in earshot you will hear what they say... People who understand and sense i am in my mind bubble know how to get my attention.
So have a talk with your hubby and explain to Him the right way to get you to zone back in before he says something he wants you to hear..
