Live this Day

This is what I have to say to you. Enjoy today to its fullest.
Rather than making arrangements for tomorrow,
do the wonderful things you have longed for.
Open your heart to the joy that lies in the gift of this day.

How easily we take our days for granted,
until we realize they cannot last forever.

Being in the now is the most exciting time you have ever known.
Live today on the edge of your seat, craning towards the horizon,
ready to meet whatever comes your way.

Changes will surely come one by one.
You are ready when you lift up your heart to meet them.

Namaste

    Very beautifully said Val. We will get there, awake each day and just smile because we can, and appreciate what we have instead of what we don’t.
    May your day smile inside, your heart sing, and a butterfly land on you to remind you of the beauty all around 😀 ❤️ 🙏🏼 🦋

      Thank you Mark. I enjoyed some butterflies today, although, the hummingbirds have departed. Fall is coming here. May you enjoy the upcoming Spring down under 🙏
      Keep living each day fully my friend 💕

    When we enjoy the journey, we win . . . no matter what. 😀

      Thanks Nancy … although the idea of winning makes it feel a bit self centered. May we all come together and appreciate what is beyond winning 🙏

        Not the way I meant it, Val. What I meant is that when we enjoy the journey, we aren’t trying to “finish” in first place. We’re not trying to get ahead . . . we just enjoying ourselves as Spinoza’s God and the 2nd line of this post admonishes us to do. 😀

    So, so important right now, Val…perhaps more than ever! I think the pandemic has stirred something in me (well it has stirred a lot of somethings!!) about really being in the moment…really being aware of not only my surroundings but my inner thoughts and feelings and how they connect to what is happening in my little world. And maybe I want to be in that place because what is happening in the Big World seems so frightening. I just have to believe that all is well and that things will find a way to work out for the best.
    Sending lots of love and light ❤

      Thank you Lorrie. May all be well in this moment and in this breath. This is what brings us into to the present and out of our thoughts. So much stirring these days with the external, prompts us to return to the internal and what is constant here.sending you a virtual hug 💕
