As I move forward to adventures in Tokyo and beyond I want to remember and appreciate the beautiful fall I had with mother nature and friends in Canada. I am grateful and blessed!
We often are not able to let go of past moments that hurt us or look to the future as our saviour when things will be better. But then where does that leave the present moment? Unappreciated and unlived? What can we do?
Breathe into the present moment, be grateful for our lives and this moment, and look at the beauty that surrounds us and always lies within us.
Yes, our lives are hard and painful moments happen. We are used to soaking up the happy moments until the plate is wiped clean but when difficult moments come we push the bowl away or don’t want to even look at it.
C S Lewis said happiness and sadness are two sides of the same coin. You can’t fully have joy until acknowledging and appreciating the other side.
Looking at and being grateful for both sides of the coin is not easy but part of a life well lived and my life lately. I am grateful. xo
