Gratitude & the present moment











hello my friends!

 so nice to come here again to share some inspiration with you 
{smile :*)}

I think I've made the quiet decision to be following my heart and my feelings in each and every post shared here....

that might create some complications with posts that need to be scheduled,
such as when other people are involved, but I have full trust that it is going to work out just fine...
you too may I suppose and hope? 

blink, blink ; )

so, my mood board today is full of emotions and is marked by the depth of the music and the {lyrics} of {this} song,

at the same time, my choices above pretty much colour my feelings, too
{could be the opposite as well I guess}

the good thing about quotations & inspiring words, is that they are self explicative and there is no need to talk much
{ something that I seriorusly need to parctice on ;)}

so I must say, that:

~> I think that I'm lucky {possibly intelligent, too} enough to have chosen a gentleman to be by my side
{well not always but anyways, who talks about perfection?}

~> I must have also found my trick and being enjoying life right HERE, right NOW
{the power of the present is unbittable}
please notice that the word present in the English language also has a double meaning:

 present : now
+
present : gift
______________

simple additional mathematical equation... and

your present is...  {the} present!
or {the} present is your present!

... however you wish to state it

voila! that's all you have in your hands!
but it's a huge thing isn't it?

if you consider how many people are lost in memories or future aspirations
{ no, no... never said that we shouldn't have any of both!}
how many people are trapped by their own emotions,
their own preconceptions....

I think I might have ended being such a person,
but instead, had better plans for me and this life, so generously offered to me...

I fought my dears... fought with mind and heart
 to overcome all possible emotional shortcomings
and start living my life, the way I decide, I wish.

I've mentioned it again months, perhaps years ago, but one of the best* presents I've done to myself was beginning and completing {for about 7 years} psychotherapy sessions.

* second best present to myself ~> I begun blogging!
** third best since the begining of this last December ~> I'm dancing freely, while exercising a few times a week}

I'm not saying that they are necessary - here I mean the therapy sessions {despite also having majored and graduated from Psychology, too}
just saying that they are enornously helpful and offer a solid basis for a real, true alteration/ transformation of the self, towards the best human beings that each of us can be.

there lies happiness my friends....
being the best that we can be each day,
TODAY

at this point, it fits rather nicely to state that, thanks to Nichole Robertson, runner of {this} tremendously succesful and utterly beautiful shop
{and FB of course, for how else could I have been instantly informed?} I got to spend some nice moments exercising a bit my... sometimes rusty brain cells, by causing some neural transmitions and evoking thoughts {and emotions at the same time}
when reading {this article} on Modern time and the perception of time.

just marvelous... 
{yes, good idea! ~> make yourselves a cup of tea, take some cookies or pieces of your favorite chocolate
and enjoy reading it!}

and then, to end this post, that once more, totally failed in being minimalistic in words,

je ne regrette riens ~ I do not regret a thing,

not one single moment of the life I 've lived so far, even the ugliest, the hardest or the most uncharming ones.

and then smoothly like a silk ribbon falling on the floor,
this brings me to gratitude,
which transforms everything into well... enough!

the magic of having it all...

I have it all my friends
&
I'm eternally grateful for that 


and you, how are you today?

best wishes from me
&
a big thank you for your presence here and the warm comments you are sharing.
I have really started  loving communicating with you!

Got to go... have a vegetable soup to cook and a few more boxes to unpack & organise...
