Hello Everyone. How are you this beautiful day that was given to us? I am especially grateful for some reason.<\/p>\n

I have been trying to stop throughout the day and stay in the moment. Just ask myself what is going on and what am I feeling and to stop the chatter that is going through that head of mine at 90 miles an hour. The what if’s, the what next, the why nots,\u00a0 etc.<\/p>\n

It is a really healthy habit I’m thinking.<\/p>\n

Today I was waiting for my husband while he was getting some lab work done and I was standing on the balcony where I always do looking out over the Supercentre store. I tried to notice things I never noticed before. I never noticed they piled all the stuff on the top shelf to restore the shelves. I’ve stood there many a time and looked but never saw. Things like that. The way my tongue felt, the way I could see the sides of my glasses, crazy stuff like that. After that I just wanted to be, just be.<\/p>\n

I think it really helps sometimes to stay in the moment and realize the great gift we have of our time here on the Good Earth.<\/p>\n

After I went downstairs and found the perfect jade plant I have been looking for with a beautiful fuscia glass bottom. I’m not sure I would have noticed this gift if I didn’t stay focused for just a few moments. I would have been scurrying around looking for this or that and finding nothing. I much prefer the universe coming to me vs. me coming to the universe.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the gift of the moment my friends.<\/p>\n
