Learn from the past, set vivid, detailed goals for the future, and live in the only moment of time over which you have any control: now! ~ Denis Waitley
Right now, in this moment, I am kind to myself. It is a beautiful night, the house is finally quiet and I am in my room enjoying the moment. It is neither harsh, nor is it happy, it is simply gentle.
My mind wants to wander to the future without Bill but I am being kind to myself by guiding it back to the moment. I hear my breath and I can remember with a smile, the days of when sleep was interrupted by the loud crackling snores! Again, I guide myself back to this moment where there is peace! Breathe!
This quote has long inspired me and although it continues to ground me, there are parts that I cannot allow myself to do - not at this time. I have learned from my past that love can be given and received unconditionally and this is a safe and healthy place; one day, I will have an open heart to give to and receive from my Earth Angels. When my mind wonders to the future there is only one question, "How will I ever live all those years without Bill?" This is certainly not what I need. This leaves me with the "moment" where right now it is kind, it is gentle. These moments are coming more frequently and in this I take comfort that my heart is starting to heal.
