I read the book The Hours by Michael Cunningham. I copied the sentence above on this piece of paper and it sits beside my laptop.
It's a wonderful reminder to me that being alive is amazing in itself. Everything else is less significant. I'm comforted by the message wrapped up in these few words.
I plan to take more time focusing on simply being alive with no thoughts of the future or the past. It'll be a challenge but I believe I'm ready.
How about you? Do you pause and let yourself simply inhale and exhale, oblivious to everyday stress?

LENORE: My thoughts exactly!!
Oh so simple, oh so true. I SAY I'm gonna simply inhale and exhale but I haven't mastered the part about being oblivious to stress yet. I need to work on that :)
SARIE: All we can do is try. We can't escape from stress completely, but if we practice putting it aside several times each day, we're better for it.
I hope you're having a good week. Today was a fairly decent day, weatherwise. I shed my jacket during my lunch break.
Will you be watching American Idol this evening?
