So there it was a 8 inch long 3/4 inch thick oak branch laying in the grass. Was I paying attention, no. My shoe tip hits the end of it. It flips and jabs my front part of foot at the ankle. Takes off about 3 layers of skin but no blood. Why, not living in the moment. These are little wakeup calls. This was 2 days ago. Today dropped a sock on basement floor transfering clothes to dryer. A small thing. Usually I'm conscious about not dropping any clothes. These are little things. They point to not being focused in the now. This month I decided to live more in the now. I think that this skill will help in my future endeavors. Learn through these little instances so as not to get bit by bigger issues later on. Say like when you are out on the road. I learn here on the road as well. Always look for potential problems coming your way. Like stopping 20 ft from car in front of you while at a light. Then watching the rear view mirror for car coming up behind you. If he's moving too fast you can move forward. This helps me a lot on the road. Let other drivers merge ahead of you. It makes you feel good and them as well. Then they pass the courtesy on to someone else. People can be bone heads on the road, but so can you. Give them slack. No justification for getting mad. Ever.
I try to pre plan my day. How I want the day to go. You are living in the future at this time but doing it in the now. Does it always work out. No. But a lot of times it does. And always be thankfull to divine spirit. I do see benefits to living in the now. You do what you can one day at a time. If you hit a road block, reach into your spiritual tool box. And ask divine spirit for it's assistance. No matter where you happen to be.
