Valentine candy to have it ready
to put out on December 26th?
And why does Sam’s Club have
its garden goods already? Why
would I need a table for my patio
or new pots for my flowers when
it’s snowing today?
Well, I’m taking a stand… I
am not going to not be pushed
into being future-oriented. I
want to enjoy the first snow with
wonderment. I am determined
to enjoy each day in January and
live “in the moment.” I refuse to
be caught up in the frenzy and
want to enjoy making a fire in
the fireplace. I won’t get near
that enticing Valentine’s candy
and I’m sticking to my New
Year’s resolution, no matter how
enticing those brilliant red boxes
of candy look. I am going to
relax and not get anxious about
making sure I have the perfect
Valentine’s card before they
are all gone (besides, last year I
think I bought two sets of cards
because I misplaced the first set
because I bought them so early!)
I hope you’ll join me and
slow down and enjoy the day.
Focus on where you are “in this
moment” and allow yourself
to feel grateful for all of your
blessings. Enjoy the gentle
cooling breeze on your face and
smile as the sun peeks out this
morning to greet you.
Today is not worth losing
because it will never come again!
