Another Book, Another Day...
I have finished another book! Hooray! Go me. I have completed reading 6 books and now I am only 4 short of my reading target for 2007. I am not planning to slack off in any way.
I spent much of my day in the garden playing with the cats. I feel really good about myself and about life.

I spent much of my day in the garden playing with the cats. I feel really good about myself and about life.
Right now, the main thrust of my life has been concerned with creating and maintaining a deeper sense of the spiritual, and in living in the NOW. Today, while I chilled out in the garden, I was reminded of how beautiful life is and that the things I believed to be important, were not important at all.
I lay on my back for a while and it felt as though the earth was giving me a big hug. Yes, I know I sound like a hippy (shoo-waaah-hey) but who cares? If it feels good and it makes me feel strong and supported and loved, and it's harming no one, I will do it!
Eckart Tolle is so right when he says that your whole perspective shifts when you start living in the NOW. There is only this moment and for me, it is a wonderful moment, in which I am deeply grateful for everything I have in my life, for my life itself and also for the hardships because through them I have grown and learned.
Life is indeed good.
I'm so far behind on my reading. I've been stuck on the same 700 page book for the past 2 months. I'm really hoping to change the "Currently reading" pic on my blog after this weekend.
ReplyDeletegorgeous cat!
ReplyDeleteI love the markings.
Hooray for acceptance and surrender.
love,
Not hurting anyone? What about the grass that was flattened when you laid on top of it? Sheesh! Just teasing ;) I'm jealous that you can lay in the grass and enjoy it while we still have snow mould and filth everywhere. Yuck.
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo, you're kicking butt in the book department. You'll eclipse me in no time (although I also finished a book today).
Diesel: I am at an unfair advantage. I am unemployed at the moment and read between sending out CVs and going to employment agencies.
ReplyDeleteHealingRoom: Indeed! That's Zak all grown up. I always think he looks very Egyptian.
Karen: The grass is built to take it!
