Good morning. Well today is day two of living more intentionally. Yesterday was a completely busy and insane day ... working (off and on) from 5:30 am until 11:00 pm. My jobs are not hard, but they keep me hopping! Right now I work at a restaurant doing administrative stuff and I have a pet sitting business as well.
I love the pet sitting business ... I've never had such grateful customers! And the best part is that I learn something from animals all the time ... the most significant thing that I have learned from every animal I've cared for is how "in the moment" they are. There is nothing more important to an animal than NOW ... than having their dinner NOW ... than having their belly rubbed NOW ... going for a walk NOW ... taking a nap NOW! It sounds funny, but it is so real at the same time. I've noticed that when one of my own little dogs stands there, looking up at me, wagging their tail, looking at me with anticipation ... that they are so fully present. It is such a beautiful thing.
I would like to be that present ... to know who I am and what I want. To not be fretting over the future or planning what to do next, etc. Be fully present in whatever is happening at this very moment. This is the only moment that I have ... right now and right now ...
So today, I will practice being in the moment ... noticing it, observing it, appreciating it for what it is ... I am doing this as I sit here and type ... feeling my fingers move across the keyboard and the words rolling around in my head coming out of my fingertips. Life is a beautiful thing when you watch it happening!
More later!
