Daily Question, May 18

How am I in this moment?

  • Tiffany

    I feel anxious with my workload and the thought of returning to the office for work. I question my son’s attitude toward rebelling instead of listening at age 9 and his addiction towards video games and devices. I feel happy that the school year is almost over and my boys will soon be able to relax.

  • Marose

    Sorry for myself. Broken and hopeless. Hanging by the thread. Walking on a tight rope. But I am still grateful for some things in my life.

    • Ruggles

      Please find someone in whom you can confide, perhaps a counselor if there is no one in your life right now who can fill that role. ❤

  • Malag

    There’s tiredness and physical discomfort and also I’m listening to a chorus of stunning birdsong and seeing the deep blue, still bay and the hills beyond in the morning light. 

  • Mica

    Good except for a bit of back pain – looking fwd to supper soon

  • hellokasi

    Introspective. I had a bad mental health day yesterday and the kind of day, today, that 1-year-ago-me would have drank after. I’m grateful for my sobriety and grateful for the ability to see past this moment.

  • SK

    Feeling in sync with the universe; at peace with my circumstances; empowered to accomplish my goals; healthy; in a constant state of wonder about the beauty of my world right now.

  • GregC

    In a state of despair and hopelessness.

    • Ruggles

      People care, they really do. Please seek out someone with whom you can share your burden. Wishing you hope and peace.

    • Michele

      prayers for you Greg.

    • Holly in Ohio

      Hang in there, Greg. Perhaps listening to some of the wonderful recordings on this site may give you some relief. Sleep, food, water… it is always good to check if there are things you need… sometimes we forget basic self-care and it amplifies our feelings. The morning will bring a new day. Take good care of yourself, and our thoughts will be with you.

    • SK

      Oh, Greg, please know my heart and prayers are with you. Remember, despair and hopelessness are only temporary visitors and will eventually leave. The best advice I ever received about dealing with my grief and loss was that grief and loss will be frequent visitors. Make them your best friends and then tell them their visit is over for right now and good-by. Start each day with a grateful heart- for just one little thing and let that little thing fill you up all day long.

    Pretty good. Had a beautiful walk this morning. Sunny, birds singing, beautiful views. A good day at school and now cosy at home, working. Little twinge of worry about what I still have to do tonight but trying to ignore it and just feel the moment!

  • Cathie

    Better than yesterday, as yesterday I was so frustrated with the hospital at which my mom was admitted, that it was that itchy-unsettled feeling all day.
    I never shook it.
    Today I am back to a normal baseline and wanting some quiet meditation time:)

  • dcdeb

    Hoping that things will change for the better.

  • Don Jones

    Alive!

  • Hot Sauce

    A little obsessive, but well enough to continue with my daily exercise routine.

  • Erica

    I’m peaceful. I am so happy with the life I have. I love my family, I love what I do, and I like the person I am becoming.

  • Diana Pintar

    I am enjoying being fully present in my life.

  • Vincent-Edward Ciliberti
    Enjoying my wife chatting with our nearly five year old great grandson. He was watching youtube like most other kids do for hours on end, and my wife told him to stop and write some letters. So right now he is writing and repeating the letter "n". Mind you, through youtube kids tend to learn too. Suffices to say that when his grandfather some months ago called for the kid and I, in our language told his grandfather to ask him whether the kid has been a good boy the kid answered "Now that is a ...

    Mind you, through youtube kids tend to learn too. Suffices to say that when his grandfather some months ago called for the kid and I, in our language told his grandfather to ask him whether the kid has been a good boy the kid answered “Now that is a sticky question ” something which we definately did not teach him and neither has he heard it within the family.

    Today I feel happy to be alive and look forward to getting to know Jesus better.

    Thankful to be up. I love coming here to get inspired to start my day with gratitude. It sets the tone of my day. Thank you all!

  • Javier Visionquest

    Good fortune! A swarm of bees moved into one of my vacant hives yesterday, an event that always leaves me feeling inspired and optimistic.

  • Pilgrim

    “It is well with my soul.”

    Centered, well and ready to get to work!
