What does it mean to live deliberately?

Live:

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." ~ Henry David Thoreau

What does it mean to "live deliberately"?
The word deliberate, according to the dictionary means "marked by full consciousness of the nature and effects" or with intention. How often do we do this?  How much of our day, our week, is spent going through the motions and how much in full consciousness?  For me, a lot of it is ":through the motions", especially lately.  This weekend I went back "home"  (a relative term, I know) to East Bridgewater.  I felt like my quality of living is far more deliberate when I am there.  I like this.

Laugh:

 

Run:  Nothing much to report here. ;)

 

Love:  I love good old E.B., the people I see there, and the amazing memories of truly being "alive" that I have which played out in that town! ;)
