“Living the Now”

“Tell me what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life” Mary Oliver

Today started out, not so great.  I have found myself the past few weeks having to consciously change the tone of my day.

You see, I have a choice. I can choose to stay in the muck or dig out and live in the now, which usually isn’t quite as bad as my mind would like to make it. 

My choice is to slow down.

My choice is to be intentional with what I want.

My choice is to be grateful and show gratitude.

My choice is to recognize the things I “want” are already with me.
