Water

Once again, I ask myself, would my life be better if I drank more water? And today, the answer is yes. 

There is something so simple and profound about drinking water. You know what I mean. So why don't we do it?

Maybe water isn't glamorous enough. It's way sexier to drink a latte, a chai, a coconut water, juice, wine, whatever. But water gets the job done in a special way. 

Time

There's always enough to get done exactly what we get done.

Apparently not

(This won't have context unless you read yesterday's post.)

Apparently not. And that's ok Btw.

I was doing something else. 

:-)

Diplomas

The world is getting smarter. There was a time when i thought I was a cutting edge maverick. And now people are writing books that contain "My ideas." That's great. Someone else did the big work and the ideas are out there. And then I think, was that supposed to be me? 

Apparently not. 

Best birthday

Im not one to talk about my daily life in this blog, but today, its different. Best birthday ever from hubby John Mazzei. There have been other best birthday Evers, but today, he really raised the bar.

I was scrubbed, wrapped, bathed, massaged, and I have "hunk of burning love" on my toes. Followed by a dinner surprise party with family and friends 

1-6: spa day

7-10: dinner

So yes, pretty amazing to be on the receiving end of a party. Raise a glass, raise the roof, raise the bar. Raise, call, fold. It's all good. And thank you. Thanks. Thank you.

Bubbly

Bubbly. What's in a bubble? Space. 

Champagne. What's in a bubble? Good space - sukha, or bad space- dukha?

It could be as simple as a brand name or price point. Or it could be the space a person is in while drinking the bubbles. Or it could be something else.

But I like bubbly. I like space. Space. I'd say "the final frontier" but that can sound a bit final and possibly depressing. Instead, toast the space that we are, that we share, and happy birthday. Thanks mom and dad! 

Letting go

This may come off as a bit preachy, but it's late, and I'm human, so as you read, remember I'm not holier than thou. I'm just thou.

Letting go can be hard. But it is so worth it. Most of the stuff we hang on to, we don't even want, but it is so familiar, it's like letting go of a family member. 

The good news- it can be done. Even if you don't know how. Just ask, meditate, pray, whatever your MO is. "Please take this away" or "please take away my need to hang in to this." See your life, or at least a moment of it- what your life would be like without it. Focus on that while you pray/meditate/ask. Then distract yourself from the pain of change. See what happens.
