So,
it is Friday and I’ve had a long week at work. During a telephone conversation
this morning, I mentioned how relieved I felt that I’d made it through another
week when I was reminded that it is important not to wish too fervently for the
passage of time.
Wow!
I needed that reminder. Every moment is to be celebrated, savored and embraced
for what it is. Through Al-Anon, my yoga
practice and my spiritual development I’ve come to understand that consciously experiencing
the moment is critical to living an abundant life.
Despite
my frustration over some things over which I had no control, I decided to
diffuse my “Calming” essential oil and breathe in the aroma of the
intoxicatingly delightful scent. I listened to the wind blowing outside my
window and felt the power of the Universe, heated water and brewed a delicious
cup of Fox Trot herbal tea from Adagio, currently my “go to” purveyor of fine
loose teas. I gathered my curmudgeonly 3-legged orange cat Carlos into my lap
so I could listen to his purrs alternating with grrrs while I wrote coverage
letters at my desk. It was calming.
Then
I recalled with a smile the delight of finishing 16 weeks of morning workouts with
my husband and how the shared commitment to getting healthy has brought us joy
and laughter.
This
evening, while I was finishing up some work, Todd cleared out our battered
trailer and converted it into a mobile dark room. He was so proud of his handy work
and couldn’t wait to show it to me. That brought me delight. And I’ve no doubt
we will love using it to make images while celebrating a friend’s birthday this
weekend.
In
the midst of a cold and blustery day, I found delight and feel blessed. And now
I think I’ll indulge in a quick game of Plants vs. Zombies!
