Hi Everyone,
I am thinking a lot lately about how to adjust to and thrive through this time period we are all in.
I am mostly a positive person, I usually can pull myself back from the brink… at least most of the time.
Lately though, I am finding it more challenging.
I don’t know what your morning practice is… but each morning I spend some time trying to get my mind right. I have a number of motivational and inspirational sites I read, and think on. This helps me try to get my mindset properly focused for the day.
I used to be in the practice of also checking the main news sources, so I would feel informed and aware of what had happened in the world before I woke up.
I am reevaluating that practice…
It’s not that I don’t want to be informed, it’s more like I want to decide how to do that.
I actually have been scrolling through Twitter… here I feel I am more selective about who/what/where I choose to look.
I do though have to acknowledge that periodically this site too, makes me a little crazy!
I am grateful right now to be in a physical place that calms me, and that I feel renews my spirit. It’s our home that we have in a quiet place in the world… and yes, I am so thankful and appreciative of the chance to be here.
We arrived on Wednesday evening … and now that it’s Friday, I feel myself quieting… exhaling, breathing slower, thinking quieter thoughts…
Surrender… Trust.. those are words that I am thinking about a lot.
I saw a post addressing those exact words. And now, as I sit writing, there is s song playing about waiting, trusting and knowing that at the end of the road, there is a pot of gold.
Maybe that’s a little much, thinking there’s a pot of gold at the end of the road… but why not embrace it? If we think there’s nothing but dirt at the end of the road, where’s the fun or hope in that?
I think why not? Why not spend more of our time, trusting and surrendering to the hope and joy that can/will fill our hearts in believing we will find what we need…
We just have to surrender, and trust. Which can be much easier said than done, but I for one and going to begin to practice more… practice surrendering and trusting…
Have each of you noticed, that no matter the amount of worrying you do, it never changes anything? It just zaps you of your joy, and the chance to embrace the moments…
I am not saying we can all just be Zen… I am saying that with each day, as we understand what we can do, and can not do to change, alter, affect life, why not lean into trusting that there is always a force guiding us, even more so, when we are able to let go….
Surrender and Trust….why not?
Until next time,
Pam
