I stay present by going out in nature, doing hands-on activities with my family, and thinking of others and how to help them, instead of dwelling on my own issues. 2 Reply Blossom4 months agoBlossomStay soft and open 2 Reply Dusty Su4 months agoDusty SuBy cherishing my life, year, month, week, day, moment by looking for the novel, miracles, opportunity for love!

That is worth cherishing. 2 Reply Mica4 months agoMicaI’m running the dishwasher so as not to have a load of dirty dishes to ‘welcome’ me on Jan 1 2022, and I’m wanting to have my home tidy to welcome the new year. 4 Reply Brian4 months agoBrianBy filling it with activities focused on meaning, purpose, connection, and care 3 Reply Elaine4 months agoElaineAs I do every day — with an added dollop of attention to the blessings of 2021 and by letting 2022 know that I intend to love it. 3 Reply Carol4 months agoCarolI think of Carrie Newcomer's poem that was posted on this site a few years ago.: Possibilities by Carrie Newcomer May you wake with a sense of play, An exultation of the possible. May you rest without guilt, Satisfied at the end of a day well done. May all the rough edges be smoothed, If to smooth is to heal, And the edges be left rough, When the unpolished is more true And infinitely more interesting. May you wear your years like a well-tailored coat Or a brave sassy scarf.

May you rest without guilt, Satisfied at the end of a day well done. May all the rough edges be smoothed, If to smooth is to heal, And the edges be left rough, When the unpolished is more true And infinitely more interesting. May you wear your years like a well-tailored coat Or a brave sassy scarf. May every year yet to come: Be one more bright button Sewn on a hat you wear at a tilt. May the friendships you’ve sown Grow tall as summer corn. And the things you’ve left behind, Rest quietly in the unchangeable past. May you embrace this day, Not just as any old day, But as this day. Your day. Held in trust By you, In a singular place, Called now.

Turn off the noise clutter. Turn away from the visual distractions. Breathe in the sense of well being and hope. Know that you are meant to be, in this moment, at this time. 6 Reply Marnie Jackson4 months agoMarnie JacksonLive in the moment and truly enjoy the people/activities that I am doing. 4 Reply amacord4 months agoamacordTo experience this day, I need to not pay attention to the frustrations I experienced yesterday..
