I'm delighted that you stopped by. No need to apologize for not being neighborly. I have yet to post on your thread and I understand that there are only so many hours in a day.
I have read through some of your thread, however, I will need to catch up with your situation and will do so as soon as I am able.
Staying in the "now" is truly powerful and I am far from mastering the practice, but it is on my list of things to work on. I do tend to dwell on what terrible things may be awaiting me out there in the future. Infact, I was just arm wrestling with those thoughts a moment ago before checking the board.
I especially liked what you said in your post about looking for what's good about today and engulfing yourself in it...marveling in it...concentrating on it in order to tune the other stuff out.
