I wish I could have savored the day near the Ocean but work gets in the way lol.
I did get a call back that I got a free ticket (over 55) to Neil Young tribute band at our local little theater at the end of june. I love that the do that. They set aside some tickets for over 55 as part of a grant from the town! Some songs bring back memoires ” Heart of Gold” in the 1970’s was a big hit! My older brother had the 45 record!
I’d like to savor today by enjoying some foods that I have come to like and that are filling and nutritious. They will most likely include some whole grains, a romaine and spinach salad with homemade dressing, lentils, fruit (I have a cantaloupe that has been ripening on the kitchen counter!), and some mashed potatoes that I took out of the freezer yesterday. I am grateful that I have the means to shop for food and the time to prepare a fresh salad.
staying centered after working in the morning, happy for a dear one who could finally decide to let herself be helped in her addiction; having taken the luxory of sleeping 2 h. in the afternoon, as I was so tired by having spent all night up last night, now my meditation group will come soon and towards the end of the day, a group reading sutras and finally playing the handpan will end my day full of savoring it. May you all be well and savor a lovely day, dear friends
I’m starting by enjoying some free time this morning. Grateful that I don’t have a lot on my plate today. Maybe even go for a swim, if it warms up enough.
I will savor this day by being in the present moment. I intend to be in the “love vibration” & acknowledge all my blessings as I carry on.
All is well. 🙏🏻
Namaste.🙏🏻

Sending lovingkindness to people across the world today. Let’s begin moving towards a more peaceful, healthy and loving world. The path is there, let’s start walking it.
I can savor this day by being in the moment and returning to the moment whenever I start to get stuck in my head. I can stop, look, and go as I notice beauty all around me.
This evening is my art class night. I can remember the quote which I keep on the dashboard of my car. “Comparison is the thief of joy.” Another quotable from Michael, a member of my art class. “You be you.” And last but not least, live today with kindness to all.
Sending out love.
I have a big to-do list today, and I notice myself energetically jumping ahead, mind always on the next thing. Today, I can continue to notice this tendency, smile at it, and come back to the present.
Sometimes in the act of “being present”, it helps me to savor if I actually make a comment- out loud – even if I’m the only one around. When I noticed my Texas Hibiscus had blooms this morning I said out loud to no one and to God, “Oh, WOW! They’ve bloomed!” Putting some kind of actions with my noticing helps me absorb and savor.
Is not a disposition of gratitude a principle way to savor things, even days? I suppose as task oriented as I can be Ill have to shift from tast oriented to experience oriented. And find a balance between me organizing the day to me being open to the day.
I might savor this day by being present. Right now the peacocks are meowing loudly and I can hear a cardinal. I’m about to have the first sip of my morning coffee with hazelnut creamer.
My thoughts are with my best friend and her husband – her husband had surgery yesterday (remove plaque from veins in his legs and they ended up taking him back in again for another 5 hr sx.
Oh no! I definitely understand the worry. I had an ultrasound on one of my legs last week but all was normal thank goodness. Hope all will be well for your friend 🙏
May the husband of your best friend recover soon from the medical issues and the needed surgery. My prayers are with your friend and her husband these days. May you be well also, dear Michele.

Savoring today will include deep breathing on my back stoop, taking in green grass freshly mowed, and daises reaching homeward bound.
Carla, I’ll be going on my evening walk today too. Thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon and rain on Thursday.

Wonderful that your friend would like help with her addiction 🙏
I am enamored of handpan music,
dear Ose . . .
it seems to effortless and soothing,
like a breeze across the soul. ♥

I’m working at home today. Lull because of computer problems. I watched the Today show, the more relaxed part of it. Relaxes me too.
Sending lovingkindness to people across the world today. Let’s begin moving towards a more peaceful, healthy and loving world. The path is there, let’s start walking it.
yes to loving kindness!

All great quotes!
Thanks, Michele. “Comparison is the thief of joy” and “You be you” help me so much. ♥️

I find
that talking to myself
or to inanimate objects
or to animals
helps to center me too,
dear Katrina. ♥
Pooch seems to enjoy it when I talk to her. We both benefit.
🥰

I looked up Texas Hibiscus–so pretty!

Welcome back Mark 🙂
Maintaining presence.
Peace, Love & Light.
