Good morning friend!
I've got a good feeling about today. I think as long as we keep doing this checking-in thing, it's going to go great.
The spring weather is really hitting its stride here in where I live. We have a few precious weeks of 70 degree weather in April before the Sun begins its nuclear oppression of our outside. Yeterday I took my dog Scout out to a small empty lot in my neighborhood and she just tore off running through it. She looked so happy, her big ears flopping around and her tail wagging. She'd stop, look at me, wait for me to move, and then spring into action again, racing around me.
She is exactly in that moment, and you can tell. She doesn't worry about when days like this will end. Or what if she runs too fast. Or what if she doesnt have enough food, or what if anything. The idea of "what if" does not exist for her. And I think her face is filled with delight as a result.
What if I gave up on What If. What if I just accept that right now, at this moment, I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing. What if I stop trying to control the future and start living in the day? And what if I start dealing with problems when they come rather than dealing with imaginary problems in the future? What if I worry about failure when I'm failing, rather than never trying?
If I did that, could I be as happy as my dog on a beautiful spring day? Sign me up for that.
