Breathe

"Blue Lagoon" original artwork by Serena
Days run together like droplets of water going down a storm drain.  Life can seem so busy, so rushed, and before you know it, many years have passed by.  You are left wondering, "where did the time go?".  If we forget to stop and enjoy life, we are hardly living in my opinion.  Like a robot without the mechanical parts...walking around, going through the motions, but never really stopping to appreciate all those little things, that add up and can change your whole perspective.  I feel the key to waking up and really living your life, is mindfulness...being conscious of what you are doing and what you are thinking in every moment.  One's mind simply needs to go where it wants.  Don't let all those worries and what-ifs plague your otherwise wonderful day.  Because there is absolutely nothing to gain in worrying about something. You will only gain ill health for yourself.  So there is the challenge...live your life, being mindful and conscious about your every thought and every action...and let go of stress and worry. Appreciate life and you will feel life appreciating you right back.  First step: Breathe...enjoy the simple yet complex act of breathing :)
