"Don't
think about what can happen in a month.
Don't think about what can happen in a year, just focus on the 24 hours
in front of you and do what you can to get closer to where you want to
be." ~Eric Thomas~
A few weeks
ago I almost went into a meltdown over my birthday this year, wondering, what
now? At first blush the thought of turning
70 made me feel really old and I couldn't figure out why...I don't feel any
different than last year.
After
thinking about it for awhile I realized it was just the number I had been
conditioned to believe is the beginning of the end and now that I have turned
70 I should spend my days in a rocking chair and 'act my age'.
News
flash... "Don't just do something, sit there"...has never suited me.
I know although
I have slowed down and the years have taken their toll I have a lot of years
left, if my family history is any indication. I also know I still have many things left I
want to do with my life.
But age has
also taught me that there are no guarantees...so this year I intend to begin
the practice of MINDFULNESS...to stop worrying about the future and just enjoy
each day...to be here...to be now...to be enough.
AT THE END
OF THE DAY... I know it probably won't be that easy but I'll learn...that's why
they call it 'practice' isn't it?
HAPPY NEW
YEAR EVERYONE
