Accept what is as if you had chosen it

Accept what is as if you had chosen it, and avoid creating stories and hypothetical outcomes that don’t exist. You will avoid a lot of anxiety and stress if you simply accept what is happening and concentrate the mind in the present moment, without thinking about what could potentially happen as a result of this problem. The future doesn’t exist. Only now exists. The problem isn’t the problem. Your thoughts, attitudes, and emotions towards the problem is where the self-induced suffering will occur.

Being content right now attracts the best possible future

Wherever I am is wherever I am meant to be, whatever I am doing is whatever I am meant to be doing and whatever everyone else is doing is exactly what they are meant to be doing – this is contentment. If you do want to change where you are, or what you are doing, the first thing is to be content with wherever you are and whatever you are doing right now! Paradoxically that’s what attracts opportunities and invitations to be somewhere else! Why? Because you are a living magnet, and contentment is one of your most attract-ive qualities. And the law of attraction says that according to your dominant thoughts so you will attract the people and circumstances into your life. Being content right now attracts the best possible future. ~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Let it transform your life into one of golden appreciation every moment forever, no matter the circumstances.

Where’d you learn to swim? From a dog?

pool noodle pretzelA sunset dip in the pool, water was 81 degrees. I have two skinny pool noodles that I love using new ways!  Today I twisted them into pretzels and stuck my arms through and I swam up and down the pool with them. They keep me high enough to keep my hair out of the water. “Where’d you learn to swim? From a dog?” Very funny. No, I just never got the hang of swimming and don’t put my face under. But I can float like a mofo!

I just discovered Granite Flats on Netflix

granite flats ia.media-imdbI just discovered Granite Flats on Netflix. Three youngsters on the trail of a mystery! I didn’t raise kids and don’t usually care for movies about kids and families but in this one, the kids are smart, curious, purposed and engaging.  I’m digging it since I’m not an action movie, violence, shoot em up, horror, zombie, lovey dovey, tearjerker movie watcher.
