I often find myself walking in the beautiful woods around my home with my dogs and not noticing my surroundings. My mind is on the day ahead, my bills, my aching knee, anyplace but where I am at. I am not noticing how cute my little dogs back feet look when she runs, or how graceful my wolfhound looks as she leaps over stonewalls just because she can. I am missing the sunlight reflecting off the lake and the crystals of frost on the branches. What usually happens is that I will trip, and that jars me back to the present. I come back from that place in my mind that takes me away from those I love and puts me into fear and worry. Thank you root for tripping me so that I can delight in the woods and the beautiful dogs that I love so much.
This Holiday, remind yourself to stay in the moment. Give yourself a present - be in the present. Really be with those you love, they can be gone in an instant. Don't miss a minuet!
Have a wonderful Holiday.
Here is another one of my cards and remember to Hold Your Horses!
Hold Your Horses
People and Animals can both
give hugs. Touch heals.
The simple, wordless warmth of
a physical connection does us good.
Heal yourself, heal someone else, give
and get a hug today.
Thank you Sheila! I will be more aware of staying in the moment with my beautiful, loving family. Peace and love to you during the holidays.

Great site Sheila. All the articles are very "reminding" of wonderful things to practice, thank you!
ReplyDeleteOh, and you are PHENOMENAL!!! Nibbles ended up having what you felt, Lyme. Cornell just came out with a NEW Lyme test that can tell the age of the bite. He did not have a new bite nor a bite of 2 or 3 months old. It was a titer for OLD CHRONIC LYME. I treated with the tinctures from the Herbalist in Maine and he is not lame, moving GREAT. Be having you back in the new year. xx Liz and Nibbles xx
