Day 3,396

Growth:

So easy to get lost in planning and dreaming and preparing, to drift away from the present moment. Today I read an insightful reminder from Anthony de Mello that has had my brain focusing more and more on the present…

Life is something that happens to us while we’re busy making other plans.

Anthony de Mello, Awareness

Appreciation:

Slowly taking my own advice, control what I can control, I am only human, there’s only so much I can do… I’m learning slowly but surely, remembering to rest, to prioritize and focus on the most important only. Last night I slept hard and slept well. This evening I’ll get another great night of sleep and will take on a substantial number of challenges tomorrow, but the ones which are most important and the ones I know I need to get done. Tonight I’m grateful for remembering to not take on too much, for getting the rest I need to be at my best, and for remembering to control what I can control.

Presence:

On my ride home a sight caught my attention and drew me right in. The sky was a beautiful pink due to the slow sunset and its reflection on the glare ice of the Mississippi River caused the entire river to glow pink! It was awesome!!! Such an epic phenomena to witness!

Thanks!!!
