Simple?!

"I think, therefore I am."

It sounds so simple......... Maybe it is!
I sometimes make things harder then they have to be. Just maybe -if I view myself as a creative being, visualize the process, it will be. The voices tell me I'm to old, it's to last, you have too much to do, you will never make a living doing THAT (whatever "that" is). But then there is the saying, "JUST DO IT". It can be that simple, if I let it. It takes commitment to myself. I'm not sure why it seems harder to give "TIME" to myself. To allow the light to shine on me. Habit of a lifetime of doing for others and allowing that to be my excuse to lose sight of ME. The present moment gives me a new opportunity to start again. I will sit in this moment and let the light shine on me.........

A single moment

There is only a single moment in which we can truly be alive, and that is in the present moment!
(from :Thich Nhat Hanh Book: You Are Here)

The challenge is being alive in this moment. My mind worries, wanders, and waits. All taking me away from this very moment I am in. But the good side of that is I can start over anytime because I get a new moment to try and be present. It frees me. I feel light inside when I surrender to the here and now. I let go of my worries and enjoy............
