Every once in a while, taking stock of where you are and what you are doing is a good idea. Today is my son’s birthday, and it’s caused me to reflect on where I have been, where I am, and where I am going. Right now I feel more grounded than I have ever been. In learning to live in the moment, I have discovered that my life has little stress. I remember going to the doctor in the past and him telling me that I just had to reduce the tress in my life, and my response was “Stress is my life!”
In slowing down to pay attention to my world and what I am doing, I have released that old stress. And let me tell you, I have never felt so good. Knowing that I am responsible for my choices, and that I choose to take care of myself and do what I want to leaves room for so much joy. And I have discovered that I have also released fear. I used to be afraid of being alone, of not knowing what to do next, but I don’t have to carry those fears. At this moment, I have many people to love, and when I want to be with someone, I can be. And I no longer worry about what to do next because I am fully involved in what I am doing right now.
Are you where you want to be? If yes, how wonderful! Congratulations! If you are not, what can you do in this moment to improve your situation? Do whatever that is, right now!
At this moment, I am sitting outside, listening to the birds, writing this love note to you. And I am spending today preparing for Jason’s birthday party and celebrating with our friends and Ohana, the Hawaiian word for family. What a magnificent, beautiful day! Make you day beautiful and magnificent, too!
