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.
