Do you know what you were doing a year ago today?
More to the point, do you know what was bothering you? What was on your mind?
I can take a stab at it and say something not very important.
Most of the stuff that bothers us, that causes so much big, major drama in our life, really doesn't matter. I mean, AT ALL. We give it energy, then it grows into something bigger than it should, and now we have drama over stuff that completely doesn't matter.
Right now, I am sitting at my desk. It's dusk.
The night is unbelievably gorgeous. You'd like it. The weather is perfection.
A breeze is drifting in from the outdoors and I can hear the sounds of two groups of people.
1) Children laughing next door. Seems they are playing a spirited game of hide and seek.
2) Elderly neighbors chit chatting under the lamp post.
My cat is laying on my bed with her back to me. Ignoring me. I'm tempted to take a picture of her snub but, if you have a cat, you've seen it.
So it's been a pretty tough day at work. I'm worn out, confused, a little pissed off.
But I know a year from now, it won't matter.
What I remember, if anything, is this moment, right now.
When all seems very, very peaceful and well and exactly as it should be.
