It's been awhile

Where have I been...it is such a metaphorical question filled with all sorts of layers - and potential responses.  It seems time has passed by very quickly and while I have thought many many times of getting to the blog - it just did not materialize.  I think this is indicatative of how easy it is to let time pass without noticing, in a fully realized way, all the beauty and grace in life and in each day. 

Truthfully, my focus still appears to be much more on what goes wrong, what could be different, what is stressing me out, what I wished would go away.....(insert your own one here).  So while it is true time passess quickly, I think I was also struggling with finding the space to allow myself to focus on the positive.  To turn my energy towards joy rather than letting the stress suck my energy and my joy away.  Sometimes I spend time thinking about how to solve what I don't like, instead of just addressing the stress.  Mostly my stress comes from things, situations or people I really can't (and don't want to) control.  Ahhh, learning....

So, here is to getting back to focus and living in the beauty, enjoy today!
