I feel like I am the seeker, the struggler, and he gives the solution.

So what have I discovered lately?
When I am miserable I will post.
When things are busy, when I'm feeling better, not so much. I wonder if all blogs are like that? I suspect a fair number might start out being that way, but the good ones that last, I suspect don't have much of that in them.
Privilege of Parenting posts every day, and gives a great lift to parents every day.
Okay, so, what's the latest with my meditation challenge?
Well, I did actually meditate today, albiet briefly.
Which means, if I count yoga on Sunday, I haven't meditated at all for two days.
Unless I count walking.
But I have been praying, and keeping conscious contact, and participating in my community.
In other words, I've been getting out and about.
And it feels good.
It all seems to come down to this: (get ready, this is the secret I believe ; - )
We get to choose to be happy.
That doesn't mean be fake, or not acknowledge our feelings, or not acknowledge that things can be hard, just that no matter what we get to choose.
Once we decide to choose to be happy - what do we start doing differently?
For me, I stop worrying and obsessing, I stop clinging to a paradigm of deprivation as the only way. I have faith that more good is coming. Perhaps even more than I can imagine. Life is exciting. Even if I'm not sure of what's going on (and when am I ever)
I enjoy working, I enjoy time with my boy, and I seek out friends, and fun time with my partner.
All because I made a decision.
So here's to making that decision as often as we can in a really authentic way.
Best,
Stephanie.

two things...it's your blog, you can write whatever you want.
Also, it doesn't have to be an authentic choice, you can choose to fake it till you make it. If it doesn't work then release it and wallow in your day. That's what I have done all week.....blah!
