A new day. A new chance to succeed.

Lately I've been reminded of the need to "show up." To be there to do the thing. To suck for the first 5 minutes, if need be, in order to get to the core of the doing.

I've also been reminded that it's not always enough. In spite of best intentions, interruptions and distractions show up, too.

That's why I focus on the day in front of me.

To focus on showing up again.

Whatever your day holds, I hope you can show up for it #today

#tommw 60F partly cloudy. Light breeze.

The rising sun hides behind a band of clouds, making a sharp contrast between the bright rays of morning illuminating the sky and the subdued lighting across the park's trees and grasses. The sky with its clouds painted by the sun feels vast.

A new day. A new chance to succeed.

I'm losing my race with sunrise, but I have time to catch up. I can take a moment to just sit with myself and consider the day ahead.

I find it difficult. This slowing down. Being in the moment. Containing the froth sloshing within.

Some days are easier than others. Some feel like trying to stop the pot from boiling over after it's already drenched the stove top.

But this morning feels like a good day.

I hope you have a good day #today

A new day. A new chance to succeed.

It's been a good week. I'm torn between maintaining momentum and taking a break.

I'm a bit scattered this morning.

Not conducive to getting my day under control but fighting it seldom yields better results. Just being aware of it matters, letting me recognize what's happening (again) and, perhaps, making a deliberate response.

Or maybe just rolling with it. Letting the day take me where it will.

I hope your day satisfies your needs #today

still only August
too soon to pack summer clothes
yet I scent autumn
