I am trying to focus more on the Now, these days! It is a different pace, a conscious effort to stay in the moment. It has wonderful qualities' It frees your mind and allows you to enJOY what is happening now. It allows your day to flow differently, to just be, to appreciate people and moments, even more. I lingered over my skinny cap(okay 1% milk) I enjoyed spying on the southern leopard frogs..they seem to worship the hose, they act as if it is their flat screen. I love how colorful they are. I enjoyed my food more, I went to the market and didn't feel that rush. It is peaceful, til the mind wants to play tricks on me and jump back or skip forward. I have to gentle remind myself, I'm trying something new, allowing myself to enjoy the simple pleasure of the day. I have a tendency to listen to the banter, I should, I need to this, I could do that...etc. It is a new way to process, stay in the moment.
"Yesterday is History, Tomorrow a Mystery, Today is a Gift, That's why it's called the Present" there is question of the origin of this statement. I just love how it eloquently states the obvious~
This is a Southern Leopard Frog, I just love how he is so in the moment. How zen of him~
I love the stillness of this pic; just enjoying the nectar, oh, how sweet~
I love the cheerful sunflower, nodding and swaying in the breeze.
I love how baby turtle gently reminds us to slow down and see things with a fresh view. How cute is he or she~
Take a break, time out for tea or whatever you like, it soothes my nerves and give me a lift.
You knew I was going to say this; "Stop and smell the roses"
Taking time out and enJOYing the now, is good for the soul~
Sherry this is for you, I know you mentioned You would like to see the frogs~
Dez, I'm still looking for an elephant to post for you; I will get the pancake recipe up tomorrow on the "Morning Memories" post.
Enjoy the gift of now~

When I am down, I can be sure you will be able to perk me up- today was one of those days.
Enjoyed the read.

What I'm practising now is doing one thing at a time -- no multi-tasking unless it's a matter of life and death!!
This is so great, I love the pictures. I have to try to apply this way of being. I missed your blog while I was away. Hope all is well my friend.
