I have always appreciated the beauty of things. It doesn't have to be big or even out of the ordinary but beauty is everywhere if you just open your eyes and see. I am so thankful for the ability to love the stuff that so many take for granted. After the experiences I have had over the years, I have learned that nothing is free, you need much more than you realize, your footprint is likely more like a truckload, and being grateful is a wonderful exercise in positivity and being mindful.



Mindfulness is the practice of remaining in the here and now. You can't control the future and you can never hope for a better past. There are some who think you can control the future but frankly the best you can do is influence a possible outcome and even then there is nothing really predictable about any of it.  Better to live now and don't waste the precious moment by ignoring it for the chance of a lottery win.


You can find all kinds of instructions on time management, mindfulness, and meditation. That is great and good for those who aren't familiar with the terms but really, as with many great things in our history, the beauty is in the simplicity of it all. Take a deep breath, tell yourself you are awesome, because you most assuredly are, and relax. Quit trying so hard.

Namaste!
Heather

    Thanks you for the reminder we all need almost daily to stay in the present, that way we have now unworldly expectations to cause suffering when not achieved. Thanks much live Vickie

    Hi Heather,

    Like you, I find the time to savour, to focus on the simple yet beautifully profound occurrences that are there right in front of us. All we have to do is take the time to look.

    Mindfulness, indeed.

    Welcome back as you dip your toes into the blogging waters.
