This is my evening. ✨✨

Peace Out Peeps! Have a safe and warm evening. ✨✨

To all the girls in summer land especially in Florida and California.

Oz will be 12 degrees and we will have a lot of snow coming from my mom’s area
Colorado. Hubby will get out the snow blower. Schools are already shutting down.

So much going on. Shizzle! 😜

Good Afternoon Sheba, I hope this day finds you well. A winter storm, hopefully it’s the last one of the season. Yesterday I purchased the Leaf & Petal Designs 4-piece Luna Hibiscus Collection
786-497. I have the perfect place for them in front of the house.
We did get some rain, well more like a shower and then it stopped. Its been so dry, we had little rain last year in November, then not much after that. Florida used to have lots of rain making everything green, it’s been mostly dry around here.
Take care Sheba and stay warm.

There is Only Now

Being present lets us experience each moment in our lives in a way that cannot be fully lived through memory or fantasy.

It can be easy for us to walk through the world and our lives without really being present. While dwelling on the past and living for the future are common pastimes, it is physically impossible to live anywhere but the present moment. We cannot step out our front door and take a left turn to May of last year, any more than we can take a right turn to December 2025. Nevertheless, we can easily miss the future we are waiting for as it becomes the now we are too busy to pay attention to. We then spend the rest of our time playing “catch up” to the moment that we just let pass by. During moments like these, it is important to remember that there is only Now.

In order to feel more at home in the present moment, it is important to try to stay aware, open, and receptive. Being in the present moment requires our full attention so that we are fully awake to experience it. When we are fully present, our minds do not wander. We are focused on what is going on right now, rather than thinking about what just happened or worrying about what is going to happen next. Being present lets us experience each moment in our lives in a way that cannot be fully lived through memory or fantasy.

When we begin to corral our attention into the present moment, it can be almost overwhelming to be here. There is a state of stillness that has to happen that can take some getting used to, and the mind chatter that so often gets us into our heads and out of the present moment doesn’t have as much to do. We may feel a lack of control because we aren’t busy planning our next move, assessing our current situation, or anticipating the future. Instead, being present requires that we be flexible, creative, attentive, and spontaneous. Each present moment is completely new, and nothing like it has happened or will ever happen again. As you move through your day, remember to stay present in each moment. In doing so, you will live your life without having to wait for the future or yearn for the past. Life happens to us when we happen to live in the Now. AMEN! ✨✨
