One of my favorite quotes goes "take care of the moments, and the days take care of themselves". I'm not even sure when or where I first heard it. It was years ago as I struggled to lose weight after my two babies. I found that taking care of this moment, this choice, would also take care of the extra pounds!
Today it was hot and windy. While I enjoyed the wind at my back, I also found myself worrying/stressing about when I would need to turn into the wind about half way through the long ride. Could I do it? How many times do we worry about facing the wind head on, instead of being totally present and fully feeling the joy of the wind at our back, the joy and ease in life? I told myself I could rise (or crouch) to meet the challenge when the time came, but for now enjoy the ride! And I did, as I sailed down a hill at 30 miles per hour!!
I hope the wind is at your back today, as the Irish saying goes. If it is, enjoy it! If you are meeting a challenge head on, remember you will turn a corner and things will feel easier.
