Intrigued By The Passing

 

 

 

 

"Write it on your heart that every day

is the best day

of the year."

 

Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

 

Reprogramming myself is indeed challenging.  Every night as I rest my head upon my pillow,  I make a mental list of all the things I am grateful for and give thanks for all of the good.  When I wake up in the morn, I once again clear the slate of all things passed, beginning the day anew.

 

Throughout the day, when I catch my self being critical I try to unearth the reason for it.  Am I feeling threatened, lesser than, or invisible?  If someone is really pushing my buttons, I determine what specifically is annoying me.  Then I do a quick search inside to discover if I am projecting behavior or if the behavior is being reflected to me for a reason.

 

It is hard to undo all of the 'doing' I have allowed.  I try to be aware of life being an on going process with endless opportunities for evolving.  Upon completing even the most mindless task, I take a moment to celebrate.  I am joyful with the smallest of my steps forward keeping me distracted from self-criticism.     I apply layer upon layer of positive attitude believing it will support me through the day.  

 

Each day will be constructed with the tools I decide to use.  My foundation will be built according to my views.  I grow closer to embracing winds, enduring sunburn, aging, and keeping  my self warm.  I am intrigued by the passing of each and every day.
