How simple it is to see that all the worry in the world cannot control the future.
How simple it is to see that we can only be happy now.
And that there will never be a time when it is not now.
~ Gerald Jampolsky ~
Here’s the thing. There is always going to be something going on that could get in the way of your happiness. There are, and will be, wars and illnesses and violent crimes that make no sense. There will be extra weight or not enough weight and that hairline that isn’t quite where you think it should be. The guy in the office next to you, the neighbor across the way or the instructor you avoid – all of whom seem to be hellbent on making life tougher for you? They are not going anywhere.
It’s true. Life can be challenging.
Does that mean, though, that you can’t be happy until the day you wake up and find that everything has gone Disney and is perfect in your eyes?
I think not.
It’s all about finding a way to stay steady in the midst of chaos, or lack, or darkness. It’s about knowing that, no matter what, everything really is ok, and perfect, in it’s own way. It’s about believing that you are just where you are supposed to be, right here, right now.
It’s that simple.
So today, how can you choose to be happy? What can you see clearly in the fogginess of life? Where can you just be you – the marvelous creature that only you can be?
I see you. I do.

I used to think that I could only be the “marvelous creature that only I can be” in the presence of my dog… but now, in my 60′s, I’m thinking.. why don’t I just be it everywhere and let the chips fall where they may!
