live in the moment

Today, I am grateful for the different sources of wisdom and inspiration in my life.  There are people, words, images, ideas, beliefs, and experiences that help me directly and indirectly every day.  It takes a quiet mind to see them, and an open heart to appreciate them, but they're always there.   

I am learning how to receive the world and the way it supports me.  For a long time, I believed everything and everyone was against me.  I resisted a LOT.  I wanted to control a LOT.  Spoiler alert, that only led to more pain, frustration, and fear.  

I accomplished being kind to myself when I made a mistake. 

I delighted in catching up with a dear friend, making tangible progress on an initiative at work, and  watching my dog throw a toy in the air.
