Happy Monday! I know, Mondays are not anyone’s favorite but this morning it was a crisp 56 degrees here and I love it. I went for a nice long walk on a new to me path and it was lovely. I can’t wait to go walk it again.
I had a nice breakfast, a nice talk with DD and my mom, I’ve swept and mopped some of the floors, I’ve made the bed, emptied the dishwasher, washed my new cooling blanket and Oh! I’ve had my quiet meditation time of prayer and listening. I feel like it’s been a wonder-filled morning!
I’ve really been working on my daily practice… practice of prayer, meditation, listening and just taking a few minutes to just be and just breathe and it’s been really nice.
I’m finding that it is really helping me cope with all that comes my way during the day. I feel like I’ve been taking it more in stride.
Don’t get me wrong, I still get upset, I still cry, I still have terrible moments but I’m finding them to be more of just that – moments, not hours, not days, but moments.
I take it in, I let it out, and then I move forward.
Today, I’ve been telling myself to quit looking back and wondering where I went wrong, what I did wrong, what I could have done differently and to instead focus on the here and now. What can I do today to make a difference, to change what needs to be changed in ME, (because I can’t change anyone else) and just be the best me I can be.
That’s my focus, today, one day at a time, one moment at a time. Just working to be the best version of myself. Finding her, embracing her, loving her and who she was but especially loving who she is today.
Well, I think I’ll go see what else I need to get done today. I was thinking about maybe some letter writing. Just sending some notes of love and encouragement to a few people on my mind.
Oh! And I may start pulling out some of the fall decorations too. I know it’s a little early, but school is back in session and well, it feels like fall so, yeah, I think I’ll do that too.
Have a wonder-filled day!!
Until next time… ♥️
