    This moment is offering an opportunity to work and have fun in the office. To reflect and to be happy.

    For a moment extended to a heart´s moment, it was singing the Otche Nash together, the orthodox Lord´s Prayer. Thank you for this moment.

    Looking at the world with fresh eyes, a new perspective.

    The opportunity in this moment is for me to start living in the moment. I also have the opportunity to quiet my inner critic who has been particularly harsh these days. Yet still I also have the opportunity to do more things that need to be done instead of doing whatever I feel like doing. Less criticism and more action would be helpful. Most importantly being present for each moment of my beautiful, if not particularly organized life, is the greatest gift that I can give myself.

    This moment offers the opportunity to look at the fog draped over the trees out my window, to taste the sweetness of the granola I made a couple of days ago, to listen to the chug of the dishwasher and look at a space transformed and be grateful we had the money to remodel and improve our kitchen, and to start my day with poetry and the companionship in this space. One of the poems of the day was Marge Piercy’s “The Art of Blessing the Day,” which is a perfect accompaniment to this question. https://www.ayearofbeinghere.com/2014/08/marge-piercy-art-of-blessing-day.html

    An opportunity for a fresh start to be a more patient and loving person. Yesterday – not so good 😊

    My time with a cup of coffee, communing with familiar folks here, and moving into the ambiguity of the day.

    In this moment, I have the opportunity to
    reflect and ponder. To contemplate and
    wonder. To look out the window and
    notice the colors change and my world
    getting lighter. I am grateful for the
    moment.

    A quiet moment with my cat, Copeland, as I reflect on today’s quote and the day ahead. I try to pick out one actual word for the day, based on the day’s quote, that I can carry with me throughout the day. Today is all about acceptance.

    My morning coffee and a morning walk before the heat sets in. Heat index is predicted to be about 107 degrees.

    To be loving and kind to myself and others. To respond instead of react. To be present and sober and face life just as it is, not trying to escape it. To understand this is my life, it’s happening right in front of me.

    To be with the morning energy on Lake Superior; sights, sounds, color, surface textures,.

    A little peace and relaxation with a cup of coffee before a very busy day. I am breathing it in as the sun just came from behind a cloud to shine into our home.

    I get to go with my parents to pick up Ngoc at the airport this evening. She’s returning home from her California trip.
