More Opportunities to Say Yes...

I'd really rather be happy. I am learning that while I used to prefer being heard or being right, I would rather choose happiness. So now when I make my choices, it really is about what I need to bring me happiness. I may actually make some of the same choices, I am just coming from a different place--my heart!

I believe that being serious is a disease of the soul. I know what happens to me when I start getting serious. My focus narrows, I begin to think about me and what is wrong, rather than what is right or good or positive in my life, and things get heavy and spiral down from there. And there is just so much for which to feel grateful, so why not change my focus?

New opportunities are showing up...and while I don't yet know the outcome (do I have to?), I do hold the intentions of good things showing up and everything working out beautifully, easily and gracefully. (I think inviting in grace would be a good thing since I am now finding I have very little in some areas of my life!)

My shoulder and wrist have been feeling uncomfortable and I am finding that this is another invitation to slow down and be a bit more present with some different things in my life. Yoga is wonderful and it will be waiting for me...and right now, other things need my attention. I have had to give myself permission to switch gears. I am saying yes to new things, saying yes to learning myself in new ways and I am saying yes to being gentle with myself...it is a different way for me to be right now. And I like it!
