So far today, I have so many good things. Nonetheless, I’ll hold it to reporting on 3 good things. But first…
Yesterday, as I contemplated 3 good things, I found myself relishing remembering the good things. And then I felt this creeping feeling that I needed to add a new post articulating my 3 good things. That didn’t feel so good. Thinking that I should DO something was seriously taking me out of BEing. So, I let go of the “you should post” injunction I’d given myself. I just let go, dropped it and relaxed back into remembering.
I’m almost 50 (this coming Thursday if you must know). Anyway, I’ve spent a good many of those years addressing and mending the intrapsychic damage of that one simple word, “should.” And, there I was thinking I “should” post and finding myself entering a kind of dampening emotional cloud. Lost was that feeling of sparkling aliveness I felt when relishing my good things – which is kind of the point…learning to relish the good things.
Amazing that one word can steal your joy.
On to good things:
1. Huxley said hello to a strange dog without growling or acting aggressive. Though Huxley is an awesome dog, he has a very bad habit of aggressively greeting other dogs. I’ve had him about a month…he’s got a couple of issues.
2. I had a most relaxing walk in the Maryville College woods with David, Addy and Huxley.
3. David is cooking dinner.
