I am grateful to the Almighty because I have learned how to live in the moment.
It is true that I sometimes think of the past however, I try to let is go as a cloud. Thinking about the past will lead to depression, anger, sadness and ill health.
I had an example of that yesterday. It was the anniversary of my mother's passing and I was to attend services last night. I decided as a teachable moment to text the girls so that they were aware of Jewish customs. The younger one texted back that she thought of my mother as a witch because she had long black hair that she dyed. She commented that my mother made her clean up. Nothing was positive and everything was a lie. BUT, it started me thinking about the past. My life was changed terribly because I had them. I AM SO GLAD THAT I RARELY SEE HER !!!
She brought back memories of herself that are better off forgotten.
Today I will walk outside and practice yoga. I have an Afternoon Book Club to attend as well as yet another dental appointment.
I'm glad that yesterday is gone and here I am in the moment.
Thank you Almighty.
I am grateful.
