Morning light is perspective.
Everything is different from yesterday. I am different.
Most importantly I am up and blogging at 830am. Nothing too exciting but an accomplishment for us non-morning people and I am definitely one of those. Not only am I blogging but I am showered, dressed in my good clothes not just wearing a house coat and having a coffee. So I am making a vow ( hmmm) to wake up every morning and blog. I need your support. It's important.
Making a decision, creating an idea....from the Godfather...( ok honestly, via You've Got Mail)
"go to the mattresses"
And why not, it is where we feel most comfort ...well there and with a chocolate bar. ( I'm letting you in )
There are not worries, not judgements, no questions to be answered, just you, pillow, covers and thoughts...which can be time consuming....BUT there is a remedy.
I've been advised to meditate with 3 phrases:
Image
At Rest
Talk
Directions:
2 minutes of the above.
Sit or lay down and just breathe and let your mind unload. Do not try to think of something just focus on breathing...not easy trust me I have tried countless times but like putting hot curlers in your own hair...it takes time but when its done, ohhhweeee fabulous~
Alright so here we go:
Breathing?
When an image of something comes in your mind...could be anything, a person, place, or thing say out loud Image.
Always breathing in and out...in and out. If you catch yourself talking to yourself ( that's my big one) say Talk.... and lastly when you mind is at ease and the only sound in your head space is peace say out loud and proud At Rest.
Soon At Rest will be all you are saying. A simple exercise to train your mind to listen to you, not the other way around...but again takes time and effort on your, my part.
Don't be hard on yourself, give it a try. Just 2 minutes of any effort is better than none at all.
There comes a sense of clarity through devoting just 2 minutes to something that is for the benefit of mental peace.
A sense of I don't know...HOPE that soon it will be better.
Without hope what's the point. For big huge issues and for small ones like the hot curlers.
HOPE is what pushes actions through.
Tomorrow's Topic:
To be confirmed.

I was sure you did/do not listen, but you hear!
You can write girl, love , me
yes, cousin, you CAN write, you are right!
I will definitely try to breathe, talk and rest. To those of us who haven't tried curlers, we can relate to flat-ironing our hair, learning to play the guitar, to walk, to write. Come to think of it, we don't take the time to learn anymore as we grow older. Do we know it all, are we lazy, lost patience when we finally learned what it meant?
Lots of love cousin. Your blog is food for thought.
ok, here is one: act upon a "what if". change a small part of your routine every day and see what happens (if anything). I am sooo curious. DON'T make it up though, treat your readers right, and give us the real deal. You go cousin! I don't know, skip a subway, take the next one. Act against your better judgment, and say "hello" to one of the subway strangers. looking forward to the update.
