Wonderful Moments

 It's Friday! 

        It's a good day! 

                    Positive energy is flowing!

I love days like this where I feel so energized and happy. I feel like a I am reflecting my meditation mantra:

In....out..

    Deep... slow..

            Calm... ease..

                    Smile... release..

                            Present moment... wonderful moment..

I see myself as a mountain.. I am solid and stable

    I see myself as a flower... I am fresh and free

        I see myself as still water... I reflect things as they are.

            I see myself in the vastness of space...I am free.

These are influenced by Thich Nhat Hanh a Buddhist monk /author that I have read and am currently reading. 

I have more days lately where I feel amazing. It is wonderful to have this positive energy flowing through me and around me. The past few days I have come to terms with the reality that I might not be able to get in the physical shape I want to be in to do EBC. But I will no matter what be healthier and fitter than I currently am. I might not make it to EBC but there are lots of other paths to trek. I am okay with that. 

Hiking this weekend will not be happening as the temperatures are soaring back into the upper 90's. I beginning to think that summer will never end. I am hopeful for next weekend as it will be my last weekend with King (son's dog) and our last chance to go hiking before he goes back to live with my son in Corpus. I will start taking my little girls out with me starting mid-October and hope I can get them trail trained and ready by next Spring for hiking in New Mexico. It will be interesting as they are both quite small and have never really ever been taken out anywhere. They really aren't out-doorsy dogs, more pampered lap ones. Maybe I can convince them to love the great outdoors. 

Have a good weekend.
