Happy Tuesday,
I’ve been noticing lately how my mind is living in the future. I moved here I guess in my mind temporarily depending on what happened with my family. My lease is up in 9 months and I really have been living somewhere else a lot in my head.
I want to enjoy my time here though, I don’t want to miss out on what is here for me now. How can I BE HERE?
Not only is it pertinent for ME here now in this city but also being here wherever I am at all times. Being somewhere else mentally no matter what my circumstance only keeps me unsatisfied with where I am now…which will only have me being unsatisfied when I finally get “there”. Even though I think it’s totally justified that I have these thoughts about feeling better in the future, it really is an opportunity for me to find my joy now.
So I think I will inquire “What is great about being here now?”
One definite thing that is great about being here is I get to be with my Dad often. It’s great we can text each other and go for a movie or coffee spontaneously. I also would like to deepen our relationship which being in close proximity is great for. I get to enjoy the feelings of my childhood…maybe I should go walk the school campuses where I went. Orange Coast Christian School (elementary school) I don’t think I’ve been there since 6th grade. I am close to the beach and get to enjoy the smells of the ocean, sunsets.
Gratefully,
Joy : )
