The Gift of the Present

Today’s inspiration comes from a quote I cherish, especially when life’s twists and turns threaten my forward momentum:

*Let us not look back in anger, nor forward in fear, but around in awareness. –James Thurber*

Indeed, awareness helps.

Whether we are happy, sad, fearful or angry, awareness grounds us in the present and gives us the chance to reorient ourselves with a fresh look at reality.

Honesty fuels awareness, I’ve discovered. In fact:

*When I can be honest about both how I feel and my capacity to handle the situation, my next steps become clearer. -Becky Galli*

Life has gone a little sideways lately—wheelchair issues, accessible van issues, and a reaction to a medication that eventually required a cortisone shot in my shoulder to remedy.

Ouch!

And yet, there have been so many things to celebrate:

Birthday well wishes (and yes, red velvet cake!):

Family visits:

Reunions and milestone launches:

Being fully aware in each circumstance—either coping or celebrating—helped me keep moving while absorbing the learnings each had to offer.

On we go. . .

My best – always,

Becky (Nana B)
