The work week is over. Yeah! I get to rest, relax, sit by the fire, catch up on my journal and do a little blogging. Experiences instead of situations is what I spent my time thinking about these past days. I read that situations often do not bring us the pleasure we thought they would but experiences-moments in time often bring us joy. I thought a lot about that at work this week, that the work situation on a whole can be rather negative but if I look at the small experiences during the day it is not always so bad. I tried to concentrate on that this week, paying more attention to the little positive things that happened during the day trying to let the negative ones go immediately. I found myself less angry and frustrated when the day was over. It really is a lesson in staying in the moment one that is so important but one that I have to remind my self of over and over again. Enjoying the sunset, fleeting in time as it is was a way of experiencing joy in the desert this past week-end. "THE DAY BROKE LIKE AN EGG INTO FULL SUNSET AND THE WATER CAUGHT FIRE" johnson. I hope you all have a restful week-end.
So wonderful to read how you are taking one step after another. Wishing you wonderful moments and experiences this weekend!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh, staying in the moment - it's hard, don't you think? I have to remind myself all the time to enjoy the little moments, the small things... Those photos of the sunset are stunning!!! Love, Silke
ReplyDeleteWow! What a beautiful sky! I just love sunsets like that. We're supposed to have some clouds by Monday, so maybe we'll get a pretty sunset out of it too! I LOVE what you said about work, and concentrating on the little positive things throughout the day and it keeps you happier. I get so worked up sometimes about the whole work thing and issues, that I will remember this next week, because I know the little things are there I just need to pay more attention to them and not the negative. Thank you!
