@mcpoopoo, doing well after a week off. It was nice to change things up as I have been working lots and lots. How have you been? Have a great day too!

@loaf,

I think you and Mcpoopoo Birthdays are coming up and I don’t want to miss it. ♥

O SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CAKE . LOOKS LIKE IT TO . O MY THANKS SO MUCH SHHEBA .

@mcpoopoo,

Here is hoping you have some sunshine today. WE are raining and a wee bit on the chilly side.

Now Is the Time

The time to blossom is now, not sometime in the future when you believe the stars will be aligned for you.

Having a vision for our future that differs from our current circumstances can be inspiring and exciting, but it can also keep us from fully committing to our present placement. We may become aware that this is happening when we notice our thoughts about the future distracting us from our participation in the moment. We may find upon searching our hearts that we are waiting for some future time or situation in order to self-actualize. This would be like a flower planted in North Dakota putting off blooming because it would prefer to do so in Illinois.

There are no guarantees in this life, so when we hold back we do so at the risk of never fully blossoming. This present moment always offers us the ground in which we can take root and open our hearts now. What this means is that we live fully, wherever we are, not hesitating because conditions are not perfect, or we might end up moving, or we haven’t found our life partner. This can be scary, because we might feel that we are giving up our cherished dreams if we do not agree to wait for them. But this notion that we have to hold back our life force now in order to find happiness later doesn’t really make sense. What might really be happening is that we are afraid to embrace this moment, and ourselves, just exactly as we are right now. This constitutes a tendency to hold back from fully loving ourselves, as we are, where we are.

We have a habit of presenting life with a set of conditions–ifs and whens that must be fulfilled before we will say yes to the gift of our lives. Now is the time for each of us to bloom where we are planted, overriding our tendency to hold back. Now is the time to say yes, to be brave and commit fully to ourselves, because until we do no one else will. Now is the time to be vulnerable, unfolding delicately yet fully into the space in which we find ourselves.

Is a you intervention, yeah

And you know I can
Tell that you like it
And that it’s good, by the way
That you move, ooh, hey

With good intentions, yeah

But if I die tonight
At least I can say I did
What I wanted to do
Tell me, how ’bout you?

It better be what you want
If you feel it
It must be real just
Say the word and
