Awkward...

"That awkward moment when you are not sure if you actually have free time, or you're just forgetting everything."

As I was looking for a quote to jog my thoughts today ( because I forgot my original thought I was going to write about) I came across this one and to laugh. It's so true! I usually am going in so many different directions and doing so many things I occasionally have those moments when I'm not sure if I actually have free time or I'm forgetting something!

Love...

"Fall in love with moments"

I liked the way this sounded when I read it. It felt simple and it was about being present to "fall in love with the moment your in." My mind is always scattered in SO many different directions that I often times lose that "present moment" to fall in love with.

A Moment...

Today when I was at someone's house taking care of their pets, I paused for "a moment" and was visited by a skink and a hummingbird, then I noticed white lilies. I don't know if I've ever seen white ones before. Then I noticed the sun making a shadow, and it looked like a spider with a sac behind it, in its web ~ all from ~ a moment's pause!

Softly...

Sometimes when I'm looking for answers or at least a "knowing" of what seems right at the moment, I have to retreat and withdraw from the world even when I'm in it. After having done that for a week, my answer come softly and it seemed more about letting go of my resistance to an idea of the way "I thought" something should be and letting things flow in a new direction. 

Cookie...

"Today me will live in the moment unless it's unpleasant in which case me will eat a cookie."

Cookie Monster

I think I will call it a day and go eat a cookie... yum yum yum yum yum!

Your Best...

Always do your Best...

"Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstances, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgement, self-abuse and regret."

Don Miguel Ruiz - The Four Agreements

I will try to not take myself to seriously today. I wasn't feeling good yesterday and when I feel like that I tend to give my thoughts way to much focus and power. I start feeling sorry for myself and wishing, hoping things were not as they are, when normally if I feel that and am feeling good, it's easier to give myself a bit of extra loving care. Today I will not listen to the thoughts that are screaming so loudly and "be kind" to myself, and "do my best."

Personal...

One of the greatest lessons I'm learning in life is to "not take it personally." Whatever the situation may be, it may sting in the moment but when you can let it go and realize it's more about the other person then about you then it's easier to "not take it personal." Now that doesn't mean I can't look at my own reflection and see things I can or could have done differently and learn from it, but when you don't take it personal you can be more objective and allow that moment to be, without judgement for either person.

Brave...

"I'm often humbled by the orchestration of it all. This is a wild ride but it's not unsupervised. It's not about what I think I can do. It's about what I'm willing to open up to doing in any given moment."

Words borrowed from : Inspired  & Unstoppable

I was brave today and went out into the unknown. I was partly working on someone else's behalf but part of it was about me. I did it - I really really did it! I'm not sure selling (especially myself) will ever be my favorite part but I hope it will become more comfortable. I was "willing" to open myself up in the given moment. Awesome Nancy !!!!!!!

Simple...

"If you ever hope to arrive in your life, you have to arrive in this moment."

Sometimes life is just that simple! Be present, arrive in this moment! I get caught up in thinking there is so much more I need to do. That somehow it has to be more complicated then that. I like the saying 

"Sometimes less is best." I'm a really simple woman but my mind can get very complicated. I strive to and continue to arrive in this moment - that's all - just that simple!

Let Yourself be Brand New In Every Moment!

This title came from a website that I follow called TheDailyLove.com.

I just loved the thought of thinking of myself brand new every moment. Even if I could wake each day and think yesterday is over and I am brand new today. It's kind of a freeing idea to imagine that the "slate" is wiped clean and I am really brand new. And the funny part is I really always have been, because no one is keeping score but ME!! Just a good reminder... Thank you -self!

Any moment...

When we dissolve the need for any "if only's" - we set ourselves free to take the only step that needs to be taken in any moment... that is the next step. Like that journey of one thousand miles beginning with only one step... the journey of any journey - in any moment - requires only the next step. -
