This morning I got up early with my husband and cooked him
bacon and eggs for breakfast (the least I could do given he was working at
6:30am on a Saturday). I kissed him
goodbye at 5:30 and set about cleaning up in the kitchen. I was in my own little world, totally
absorbed in washing the dishes, and oblivious to the world waking up just outside
the kitchen window. Then, all of a sudden I looked up and noticed the forest
was aglow in shades of pink and peach, and echoing to the sounds of one of my
favourite birds (the Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo).
My very wise mother in law (an accomplished philosopher) talks
a lot about being in the present moment and the concept of “right time”. This was a perfect demonstration of these truths. There was no decision to be made. The only
thing to do in this moment was to drop everything NOW! and go outside to enjoy
the glorious sunrise. And what a treat!

It’s in moments like these that any troubles, fears or concerns melt away and you’re left with pure enjoyment, happiness and love. What a gift!
The dishes will eventually get done, but right now my dog is
telling me it’s time for her breakfast. If
you’re looking for a good role model to learn how to live in the present
moment, you can’t get any better than your dog, or any animal for that matter.
Wishing you a remarkable weekend J
