Well....

Well I tried to just sit back, take it in one moment at time, and find something to be happy about in every instance. And.... it worked? For the most part anyways. I had one idea of what my free time should look like, and the world had a different view. So I decided (eventually) that since it was my goal to Enjoy Life, that how I did it did not matter how I choose to do so, but more importantly that I keep making that choice.

  I had a great weekend after my last post, and another great one this weekend.  I met a new friend, filled my days with loved ones and spent much time in my garden- which is new to me (the garden is new to me, gardening is only partially new :)  When I get out into the Garden, I enjoy every aspect of it. I am really there. I can smell the fresh cut grass, hear the buzz of the bees, and feel the sun on my skin. It is wonderful- truly being present for something.

                         

 I am hoping to have my veggies (that I already have) planted by this weekend, and if I do perhaps I will have an " I just finished planting the veggies! Garden Celebration" and perhaps if I do not get it done this weekend, I could have an "I am enjoying the Process! Celebration" because it is one and the same. Either way, I am relishing in delight with every step I take in the Garden, and that seems to be a great reason to celebrate on its own.

I want to mention also that I recently started taking an online course through the Centers for Spiritual Living ( http://www.enhancing.com/foundational/ )

I have taken the foundations course already at the Center I found while I was away in "The Big City," and, I was pleased that, although there are no centers in Nova Scotia  ( You caught me, I am a Bluenoser,) there are courses offered online. Wonderful. I joined for the same reason that I am writing this blog: I know that there is a better Way to Live than what I had been doing earlier this year and I am very eager to get back to it- Permanently. Both the class and the blog serve as pointers to me, reminding me of what I have always known. And, not even three weeks into the class or this blog, and I am already starting to Snap Out Of It!

Awesome.

This time though, the Foundations course has a lot less reading and a lot more personal work... So I keep telling myself, "Ok you must need this, because here it is showing up for you." So, because I have nothing to loose and everything to gain, I threw myself blindly into following the instructions of my teacher, trying to Trust the Process.

And it is working. So well.

So, even though I may not be where my ego thinks I should be, I am following the advice of my friend, and fellow blogger Sara, who has recently posted the importance of looking at how far you have come instead of how far you need to go, and I am going to be easy on myself. I have come a far Way after all! And, of course, will continue to find (and apply) ways to make my life as Awesome as I know it can be :)
