Monday Mood: Embrace the Day

Good Morning and Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life. Carpe Diem, Seize the Day. If you don't control the day, it will control you. There will be things beyond your control, don't let them bother you. Breath in, Breath out, drink a glass of cool water, let the world flow around you. Be strong, by being quiet.  Learn something today. Seek awe and wonder around you. Smile and wave at the child. Say please and thank you - make another's days just a little better. Don't be disappointed when you are disappointed; it happens all the time, let it flow like water off a duck's back. 

Find someplace quiet, and simply sit in peace. Take a moment to hear the sounds around you, to look deeply into what surrounds you.  Breath, smell, taste the wonders. Be present in the moment. Find something that makes you smile, something that makes you laugh. 

I am on a digital detox. This post was written ahead of time and scheduled to appear today. I have not missed posting at least once per day in over a decade. While on this detox, I will not have internet access many days, when I do have access it will be limited. Please continue to leave comments, but I may not reply to comments. I will read comments when I can. Normal service will resume in late May.
