Create A Rewarding Life. FAITH KNOWS!
I was sitting here, lost in the world of my thoughts, when at last it occured to me, what is the anxiety, the tension coursing through my body as of late. Feeling the twinge of a cold, that I shall conquer! I see that I have been so caught again, in my thoughts...Pulling away from the past, and wondering about the future, and I knew, again, that the place I have to be is in the here and now, so caught up in what has been or what will be. Why not embrace the here and now? Why get caught at all? When you know what it is, and what it means. Why be anywhere else.
I had this idea, about giving everyone I know a small gift. Then, I thought about it and decided that it was a bad idea. Because, how could I do it in a way that could just be neutral and nice?
See, this is the thinking thing,
If we all did things that came from a place that was just pure of heart we wouldn't worry.
I have this deep frustration towards a local figure in a jewelry commercial. She drives me bananas- and that is not in the Rachel Zoe way, and I try to figure why she bugs me so much. Is it the voice, the clothes, the hair? I don't know, could be a combination of the three. It is irrational to be so aggravated by such a small glimpse of someone...over saturation?
I should be rich. I would be so good at it, trust me.
That was unrelated to any previously mentioned thoughts.
Is worrying genetic???
Are we either born with it, or not. I say that we may be born with a gene, and either our environment feeds those thoughts, parents, siblings, etc.
Think about all the things, at this moment that you have to be excited about. I can name 5, right now!
Find what you know to be good in the here and now, and focus your attention on that. Right now, here, I am writing. That is a BIG Good thing. I drive myself crazy when I don't. Tension with John, have not talked with him since Sunday Morning, and though I miss talking to him because I am USED to talking to him, and good or bad, is that a reason to really miss someone?
Is that enough?
Our lives are balanced through the transitions.
As odd as that may seem, that is the TAO, the way things should be. The tendency is always there to fight, to struggle, to make our point, get our say, whatever. Why do we have to be right all the time?
There is a time for motion, there is chaos, there is rest. This is the nature of things. Accept the balance at play as it happens, don't fight it.
I get a kick out of Dave, the maintenance man at work. He actually adds quite a bit of color to my day. Then, there is Alvin at the Donations door. He tells great stories without a word.
Vicmali, my assistant, that's my girl! She is awesome?Brings her own light to the day, always so sweet and balanced. She gets a kick out of me too! So, it is great!!!
Many good things, give thanks. Have mom on the phone, so gotta go.
Peace, God Bless, Amen, Namaste!!!
