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............

Humming

One day you'll wake up and find that your life does not have structure anymore. It has rhythm. Just hum along. (borrowed words)

My life is taking on more and more rhythm with each present moment. As I allow the structure to fall away I can feel the rhythm taking over. It puts a smile on my face, a swing in my step and brings clarity that all is well. I am surrounded by friends who have their own rhythm but we sway to a similar beat. It feels so GOOD! My children teach me everyday how easy it can be to hum along, to relax and enjoy.

Lets all hum to our OWN rhythm today..........

Nothing to fear but fear itself

I FORGET -
I am not on this journey alone. There are others to help and encourage. My shoulders get heavy when I put more on them then I need too. I am only one person and I can't do everything. My "to do" list seems to be getting longer and longer. So for today I will choose not to look at it and choose to know ALL IS WELL. I don't want my present moments to be filled with FEAR, for there IS nothing to fear but fear itself. Thank you to all who walk along beside me because sometimes I - FORGET.

the eagle flies high
feeling free in his present moment
let my spirt follow

A Quote

"Deep roots are not reached by the frost."

I love quotes. They are similar to Haiku, short and sweet. Quotes give me food for thought without all the fillers, and can be interpreted in many ways. At different times in my life a quote can take on an entirely new meaning.
Enjoy the food.........(for thought)

Resistance and flow

 I find myself resisting the present moments in my day. I want them to be something there not. I want them to be what I THINK they should be.
 Today is to remember life doesn't have to be a struggle if you just let it flow.  

TRUST
SURRENDER
ALLOW

A thought..........

Our experiences are our lessons.
They are to be noticed, accepted and forgiven if hurtful.
NOT JUDGED

(borrowed words to live by)
