  • Are We There Yet?

    Are We There Yet?

     Acknowledging the good that is already in your life is the foundation for all abundance. -Eckhart Tolle

     I have had a rough couple of days lately. There has been this overwhelming feeling like nothing is coming together.IMG_0918  The one book that has helped me put some of my feelings into perspective has been Eckhart Tolle’s book A New Earth.

    Driving home from the park this morning, I threw a little “tempter tantrum” over things in my life.  I can look back know and laugh at myself but this morning was a different story.  I finished up my walk on a good note, when all of a sudden an overwhelming feeling of anger hit me. I got mad over my financial situation and the frustration of not having the money I “need” to take care of my family. By the time I got home, my feelings had subsided. I remembered that frustration comes from focusing on the lack instead of the abundance of this universe.

    I try so often to stay focused on the fact that I’m not where I used to be,  but at times the thought that I’m not where I want to be seeps in and leaves me frustrated. I feel like the little kid in the car that keeps asking are we there yet?Screensaver1

    The fact that I realize that this idea of lack is ” just an idea”, I was able to regain focus. I know at I times there will be rough patches that will pop up and I am not alone with these same frustrations. What we want out of this world we have to give to this world. In the book A New Earth, Eckhart Tolle says that also includes abundance.

    I hope this helps others realize, we are all in this wonderful thing called Life together.

    Beautiful Butterfly

    Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can. -Arthur Ashe 

    I started walking regularly over a year ago. I always enjoyed the great outdoors. I grew up in Connecticut where our biggest attraction in my hometown was a lake. We lived about a two miles from town and every summer, the lake was the hangout spot. There is no lake close by to hangout at, but I do have the park.

    This morning on the walking path, this is what I saw.

    I tried to get this guy off the walking path so he wouldn’t get ran over or stepped on and it took me all of about 5 minutes to get him into the grass.

    That’s what I love about my morning walks. There is so much beauty everywhere when we take the time to stop and look.

    Wishing everyone a wonderful and relaxing weekend.
