Carpe Diem - Seize the Moment
Mornings :-)
It brings so much memories for me
Do you remember how many different ways you experienced mornings - days when we were lazy and not wanting to get up, days when we got up and took the weight of the day even before it began as we began to think of what happened yesterday or what will happen today, days when we smiled because we had a nice dream, days when we woke up scared from a bad dream
Yet the very act of waking up is I am realizing - can I use it more than just to shake my sleep off
So today when I got up I smiled , for no reason , and that smile and the intent to smile created a positive thought as I saw the lush green grass greet me , as I saw a new bud starting to take shape
And I realized today can be better than yesterday
The very thought that I can try to make today better than yesterday Spurs me to ignore my mind and the thoughts it brings
It felt nice to not listen to my thoughts in the mornings and just be
I remembered that in this journey - despite its ups and downs - the very fact that I am alive now presents opportunities for me to do something that makes the day for someone
So I smiled at the grass - and I smiled at the budding flower waiting to bloom
And I realized that as I smiled at things , I felt better inside as I could see the beauty maybe more easily around me
Today try and smile , take a deep breath
For someone in the world now - that breath becomes air - a lifeline
Feel it and sieze the moment
To allow the life force to flow through us and to feel it flowing is probably one of the most amazing things I have felt
I wish that today, you sieze the moment to allow the smile , the joy to touch your heart with a simple smile , a simple act
