the time is now

location...pool

i am learning to hone a new skill- its all about being connected to our surroundings and focusing in on the now. i am guilty in my day to day of two extremes- dwelling in the past and what could have been or what could be in future. its about living in the day to day, in the present, not the past or the future. while these shape who we are- i think we are missing the point of life if we don’t see what is right in front of us and be available to cease it.

i read something today stating that sanity is being aware of and available to our surroundings- its not about having it all figured out. what a welcome point to me, i am far from having things “figured out” and that is ok. i keep moving forward and focus on now because i can do today.

for me...the sun is shining and there is a cool breeze in air, the light in the pool creates a honey comb design that is alive, while the noise of the leave blowers is annoying me right now...they are making my complex more beautiful and they are doing their job, i am about to go for a run in the neighbor i love...life is good- i’m not worried about tomorrow.

i am seeing that sometimes the greatest opportunities to grow come when you aren’t expecting them or even really needing them....they may not even be what you ever would have dreamed yourself...
