Today, I prepared for work….showed up in the driver’s seat of my car…….and then…went nowhere. I had brought the wrong keys and locked the REAL keys in my house…with the alarm on! I had to laugh. Then called my husband home from his job in a neighboring town. I spent 30 quality minutes with my dog, watching the storm from our open garage door. It was a truly lovely moment despite the unexpected nature of my situation.

Thank you for sharing Sharon. For me, the lesson I learned the most from was showing up and being present. I used to find myself skipping ahead to what’s next rather than being in that moment and being fully present. 🙂

Nice! And something more – the first one may not be needed! Yes, just improvise and don’t let over-preparation be a delay tactic. (Spoken from my own experience)

My name is Val Boyko, a dual citizen living near Philadelphia, originally from Scotland.
This blog came to life one morning in 2013. I woke up with these words in my mind: “Life is a series of highs and lows. Be grateful for the highs. Be graceful in the lows. And find contentment in your Middle Ground.”
Find Your Middle Ground blog started to explore, reflect, ask deep questions, share insights about awakening, and connect with wonderful people like yourself. Thank you for being here and being such an inspiration.
