Today is Valentines Day. I am unsure if today is a good day or not. I'm not sure if I should even think about it in forms of good or not. I suppose it is, what it is.
Thoughts.
Running thru my mind today I have had many thoughts. Many of these thoughts made me feel: angry, sad, happy, filled with love, filled with.........(fill in the blank on your own.) For me it is stopping these thoughts running thru my mind before I find that I am mad, upset, happy thats bothering me.
On the back of my business card I have the Shakespeare quote, "Thinking makes it so." Yes, I believe thinking does make it so. Its all in the thinking.
Its where are your thoughts taking you? That is the question.
So when I find myself angry, sad, unhappy, etc. What am I to do? Meditate? Sometimes but not always. I find with Morgan jumping up and down meditation is not always that easy.
I remember a long time ago in the 80's. It was in the summer, when I would watch my sister Carrie.
We would have quiet time. Just sit on the living room floor and be quiet. Not a race of who was the quietest. It was just sitting or laying on the carpet and not saying anything.
There was never "Ok lets be quiet for 10 minutes" at least I don't remember it being that way.
I guess I would have to ask Carrie. But since this blog is all about me, I don't remember it being that way.
It was a time of relaxation. Thinking about it, maybe it was just a time to love yourself.
I hear the wind howling outside my window. I think, yes thats it. A time to love yourself. A time to say, "I don't do everything perfectly, on time or to the best of my ability thats ok, I love myself anyway."
So on Valentines Day I end this blog thinking the most important person to love is not Mark, Morgan or my Mom. Its Me.
