Quote: OK, Muddle, your job and my job today is to focus on the present. Everything in the moment. A lovely flower. A good cup of coffee. A friendly smile. How good it feels to take a shower. The sound of a child's laughter.
Just for today, let's see if that is enough. Are you with me?
Absolutely, 100%, agreed. These are the only things that are REAL, not constructs of our own making. Thanks for that.
I have maintained for some time that nothing my W does will change my position. I guess emotions have a way of manipulating the rational mind (as is SO clear in our WASs), and I'm not free of this either. I'm trying to acknowledge these feelings though, because I don't want to get down the road and realize that I've been ignoring my feelings. I want to process them and continue down the road I choose to go down.
PL, thanks for your support. I'd like to know more about your perspective on my sitch, because I read what you wrote about your take and came away with more questions than answers. I'm not sure if you are inferring that my sitch looks better than yours, or if you think I'm only trying to keep my family together, etc. Sometimes when I look at my sitch myself it's so tragic and soap-opera-like that it doesn't seem real. Again, this is the framing we all are capable of doing, and the REAL power we possess over our lives and ultimately determines our ability to be happy. The perspective of other's is always welcome, though, as it helps me grow.
Thanks for dropping by and for your input.
