Living mindfully

[Starrlight]

Life is sweet. Not all the time, though, so it's crucial to note when life is sweet and to celebrate that part. The Strawberry Moon was named for berries ripening, for plans coming to fruition and for the appreciation of the moment we have, which is always one moment, the one called "now." 

[Mrspjsmom]

A great message. For me those moments help me get through the day. I savor them.

[Dolphin14]

True, all we have is the moment. Nothing else is guaranteed is it.

Thank you for the information on the moon

This is my moment right now ❤️🐬

This little boy 🦔

Aww love your moment… is he sleeping?

[Dolphin14 in reply to Starrlight]

Yes He's hanging on my neck

[Starrlight in reply to Dolphin14]

[Starrlight in reply to Dolphin14]

I really love that…not guaranteed…we have nothing beyond this moment guaranteed, it makes me feel so grateful and worrying is not here because focus is staying on now.

[Dolphin14 in reply to Starrlight]

Not always easy as we know but the more we can do it the better off we are ❤️

[Starrlight in reply to Dolphin14]

So true. Guess what?! So far my son has won $100 for best trick and he’s about to do another competition now. 😆

[Dolphin14 in reply to Starrlight]

How are you and Dylan getting on?

We are fine here and have had a nice peaceful Saturday in our new home having a walk round the area and stopping for a cup of tea in a greasy spoon place and having a pub lunch out which I enjoyed and got some groceries delivered to fill up the cupboards as well and the driver asked me was I liking it here and I said yes I am now I have had time to settle in after I moved in on Monday afternoon from the inner city!

Here it's not as noisy as it was in the inner city!

Thursday night I told my mother I have moved and she wanted to know why I had made that decision which I find infuriating and had I moved due to a failed marriage and she was put out because I didn't consult her first before making the decision!

Thing is I don't have to discuss anything with anyone if I don't want to!

[MadBunny in reply to Turnipgirl]

We're ok thanks

Its great that you are happy and feel settled. And as for your mum - well yes, I know what you mean, although I suppose you had to let her know. My mum could never let go and used to drive my brother and his wife mad interfering with them bringing up their kids. Luckily I lived a long way away, and never had kids🤗

[Turnipgirl in reply to MadBunny]

You would think the world had ended when I said I had moved which was ridiculous!

I moved on bank holiday Monday as it was cheaper then the day before the bailiffs were due to come in to evict and the movers came Monday lunchtime and I was in tears about leaving even though part of me was looking forward to moving and had been in tears Monday afternoon due to the build up of stress saying I wanted to go back to the inner city place!

Very soon I will be going past the place I was evicted from and thank my lucky stars I'm not there anymore!

To be honest I do feel by accident they have done me a favour by evicting me from the other place but it was a horrible experience to go through.

[SoporRose in reply to Turnipgirl]

I applaud your strength, courage, and resilience!

[Hb2003]

True ❤️😊 and i love those good moments but you have to make the best of them ☺️

I also like to watch the moon. We've been having much-needed rain where I live and I am grateful for the moisture, but there have been many night where I can't see the moon and I do miss that.

[SayNOtoPanic]

this channels mindful meditation. Thanks for this Starr.

[Hidden]

I love this! Living in mindfulness is key, and I have no anxiety when I practice it.

[Starrlight in reply to Hidden]

Niiiiiiice

I agree living in the here and now is crucial and we must battle with our anxieties which continually distract our minds with fears, past and future.
