Summertime and the Living Is Easy

Where has the summer gone? I know that there's more to come but life has been speeding through 24 hours like a vacationer heading up I95 to Maine. I am not complaining. The weather has been cooperative like no other year in current memory; the garden abundance lush; and so many interesting venues to attend & participate locally no need to travel far. Ideal.

I was chatting with my boss about how each Monday morning quickly becomes a Friday. Time isn't marching it's racing. Yet, I am okay with it. I feel as if I am enjoying the moments in between. Not everything is perfect which is another fact with which I am okay. I suspect that living in the moment is a key contributor to this bliss-like living.

Simply put ... I decided to enjoy myself fully. Take each day and live it to the max. You don't have to be bungee cord jumping off a bridge into a gorge to live life to the max. Just enjoy a tomato fresh picked from the vine will do. Attend a Shakespeare performance in the park. Take the ferry to Boston for lunch. All is perfect.

Life extends a gracious invitation to party every day. You just have to accept.

Ditching The Clutter

With this New Year only days old, I have come to yet another major realization ... time to ditch the clutter. I am talking the things, people and places that no longer have a purpose, place or positive relationship with me. Wow, I feel 10 pounds lighter (and I could use that!).

In reading about limitations people place on themselves, the most common is carrying around the past too prominently in their present. If you cannot ditch the past, then it is in your present life and soon to be in your future. That makes me feel claustrophobic, hemmed in, too heavy.

And, to follow the Laws of Attraction, you just don't have any space for any new thing, person or place to enter your life. I think I will spring clean my life early this year.
