SURPRISE!!!

I always thought I liked surprises, but a couple of times lately people have come over to my house without warning. And my reaction ( without trying to show it) is like this picture. So I was pondering this thought as to "why" I have this reaction. I'm not sure only to say, I feel like I need to prepare myself ( whatever that means) and then it's all okay. But it is something I want to explore about myself more. Am I too protective and guarded of myself or is it just a part of my personality? Either way it is interesting to observe and decide how I feel about this part of me. 

Listening...

Today I listened to a feeling ~ and contacted someone I'd been thinking about. I don't the reason they had been on my mind but I just wanted to not question the feeling and do it. Can't say after I talked with them that I know anymore about "why", but it doesn't really matter. It felt good to just "go with the feeling"! Somethings in life "just are"~No great cosmic, deep meaning to them and if it does I will be open to hear what it's saying to me. It's a relief not to over analyze things and allow it to flow in and out like the river, where ever it needs to go.

The present moment is now -where are you?

I am -

Lost in - "what if", "If only", "Why can't they be what I need"

Why, why, why.................

But I'm back.

Back enjoying the moment that I'm in. Grateful for what's right in front of me. Doing something about what I can do something about, I'm loving myself, my children, family and friends. Today is what I make it. The "what if and if only" didn't go away but I chose to come back to the present moment and all is well......... LIFE IS GOOD!!!!

(thanks for sharing this moment with me)
