A sense of balance

What a beautiful morning it is today.......makes you glad to be alive. The sun on the water was amazing as I drove by the seawall on my way home from a friends place. Stayed as it was late and I just didn't feel like getting in my car so had a sleepover. While I love the view from my little castle in the sky, my friends place hangs out over the water and you can see forever.

Have been feeling a sensation quite like BLISS for the past week or so. A sense of calm and balance seems to permeate everything.......like I flicked on a switch or something. Whatever has happened, it is a new feeling for me........a sense that everything is all right and in perfect harmony.

I remember years ago when I first started on my path of self discovery. Someone asked me what it was that I wanted.........what was it that would make me happy? Most people talk about the perfect relationship, the perfect career, material possessions but that is not what I came up with. The only thing that I could come up with was the following.....

I only want to come to a place within myself where I feel in balance and in complete acceptance of me.

And you know what? That is what has finally come to fruition. I do feel in balance and I am in acceptance of me. Why has it taken me so long to come to this place? It doesn't matter how long it has taken because I got here and it feels perfect.

All those times in the past where I was lamenting the state of my life, my work, my relationships......it just doesn't matter anymore. All that does matter is that that sense of Bliss of which I speak is here now, in this moment. And it doesn't even feel that much different - there is simply a calmness around me - a sense that life is perfect just as it is.

So just for this moment, take a look at your life. Don't lament all that seems to be out of harmony. Simply sit in it and know that it is perfect for you now........doesn't mean that this will be the way it always will be, but for this NOW moment, it is what it is and what it is is perfect.

Find JOY in this now moment and let the next moment handle itself.

Namaste
