trudging my road of happy destiny

April 23

Good morning,
Today is going to be another beautiful day. Yesterday was a pretty day for GTM.
I had lunch with my friends and climbed the stairs of the courthouse. Whew that was tough, but I did it!
Today my goal is to practice being in the present and listening to others. When I can get out of myself I am validating an other person’s importance in my life. It seems I have gotten into some bad habits where that is concerned. Often times instead of listening I am thinking about my response to what is being and not truly present and just listening. I think that is pretty normal. None of us likes to look dumb and be caught off guard in preparation for a response. Life is full of challenges and mistakes, but that is just life on life’s terms. Living and growing within our own skin and trying to be of service to others. That really isn’t a tall order if I am being present and practicing my mindfulness.
Today I’m gonna stay home and do some things around here. I had a busy last week and weekend too. I have spent some wonderful time with friends laughing and just being present in the moment.
Today I choose joy and contentment.
My Dean will be home Tuesday night and I can’t wait.
I will say that staying busy has been very good for me and has kept me out of self. Thank you God.
Have a blessed Sunday and remember to smell the posies along the way. Little pleasures are that ones that get me through one day at a time.
