One part Christmas, one part Buddha-ish, two parts LOONY!
I read something this morning...I read two things, actually. (If we're really being honest here, I have read A TON this morning-I get up at like 3am,often, and have a racing mind ready to take on the world and learn new things. Then I crash from exhaustion when it's time to follow through!! It's a joke the universe plays on me that I haven't quite figured out.) One of those memorable readings included, "if you have one smile to give, give it to those you love"-Maya Angelou. Then, I read a wise, relaxed sounding blogger describe how to take in each day with your children;to watch them, observe them-breathe them in and take in every moment of their fleeting childhood and growth. Now, I have been studying Buddhism, meditation, yoga-all things glorious and mindful and positive for years but being in the PRESENT is just one thing that this American born, city girl has never managed. I AM Julia Roberts in Eat, Pray, Love watching the clock in the meditation room.......
