Day 2 of my experiment, and it happened to fall on my art day. Since I live up in the mountains, on these days it is rare that I see a living soul, and this makes it easier to follow The Way because there are no distractions, with the exception of my puppy who epitomizes the balance and stress-free living that I aspire to. One of the hardest things to do is live in the moment. We have been trained since birth to lament the past and worry about the future. So, yesterday I did not listen to any news and focused on my writing and art. The day passed blissfully and I accomplished quite a lot. I followed Lulu’s suggestion of when to stretch, when to eat, and when to take a nap. When the sun came out, we sat in its rays and soaked up its warmth. I had no worries, no concerns. I have had a dog since we married, over thirty-two years ago, and I can’t imagine not having one in my life.  When the world gets crazy, all I have to do is look into her brown eyes and remember that all that there is this moment. Blessings for a beautiful day.
