Today, concentrate on today.  Enjoy your tree, instead of fretting about the forest.

****************

I am in a bit of an emotional storm right now, and I don't think it has anything to do with the trees.  Though it might have to do with individuality, and making my own choices.  Oh, and being in the moment.

But, I did sit under a tree today.  If you've read the "Rose is Rose" cartoon, you know about the "let it be" tree.  I do have a tree that I use for meditation, sun bathing, and letting it be.

Letting it be can be a combination of "live for today" and "just breathe".  Because when you're letting it be, those things you have no control over (be it past, present or future) are simply allowed to be.  And when something just is, you don't actually HAVE to do something about it.  It's very liberating.

But another part of enjoying "my tree", as the reading goes, is doing the things I would do, today, working on the things I can do, today.  And letting tomorrow take care of itself.  The yellow skirt may be more appropriate for tomorrow's activities, but I really really wanted to wear it today.

I hope that was coherent enough for you to come back tomorrow.  Or actually Saturday.  I plan to meander through my emotional storm and I don't expect to do a reading tomorrow.  But feel free to check the Meander blog, and see if I make it through!

I also hope you have a great day!
