It's Saturday and well, I have one of those weeks where I've been running around like crazy doing basically nothing. For some reason, I am just off....not in a good mood...irritable..... so much on my mind.... so many things to do.....ugh. I am feeling overwhelmed and not even sure where to begin. I feel, well, a bit down.
Oh well. These things happen. Right?
Right. So today as I was trying to decide what to write, I realized that actually, mostly when I am in one of "these moods" the reality is that I am most likely ignoring a whole bunch of things in the here and now that would most probably put me in a much better mood. Instead of focusing on what is wonderful about the present moment, I am worrying about the future moments -- what will happen, how will it happen, when will it happen.....and on and on! But when I focus on RIGHT. THIS. MOMENT! I realize that WOW! I actually have a lot to celebrate today: 1) my apartment is now painted a color that really works! 2) my interview with my first Man About Town subject, went splendid (CHECK IN ON APRIL 20 TO READ!) 3) I am making small, but noticeable improvements in my dancing! 4) I have 2 great roommates that I adore 5) I had a great time celebrating friend's birthdays this week! 6) One of my favorite friends is visiting me from Vietnam for a month! 7) I got a wonderful care package from my Big Sister Lynne -- 8) my landlord has been ultra supportive and understanding about my "lack of real employment". All things considered -- things could be worse!
And so today, instead of wallowing in worry and doubt -- I am going to use the Power of Now to realize all that I have to be thankful for TODAY! And to make sure that this feeling of celebration and cheer really hits home, I am going to go to Levain Bakery right after my ballet class to get that wonderfully delicious Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie to enjoy with a nice Cappuccino! I suggest you do the same!
Here's to a Delicious Saturday Afternoon!
