It’s all too easy to put off loving where we are until everything is perfect. What can you love about where you are now? I've try that - it doesn't work. Life isn't perfect and never will be (that's my own opinion). My dreams are far, far away from today's reality. What happen if they never come true? Should I be miserable in the meantime? Some time ago I decided that no mater what I'll be a positive person loving the moment I'm in right now. Yesterday is a history and tomorrow may never happen so I love today and I love now. What do I love? You all know that I love stitching but I also love rainbows, my DH and my family, my dog and my mother in law, neighbours - when I think about it actually I love everything except root-beer, liquorice and bok choy.
So long my friends,
Evalina
Love your post today.
ReplyDeleteHi Evalina
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your post and your honesty and yes you're right our dreams can take us away from the present moment. But I also love that you have chosen to be positive no matter what. I used to do a lot of cross-sticking and embroidery and now do quilt making ... and blogging.
Take care
Linda from QP :)
Love your philosophy. Anyone of us could work ourselves up into a state by being negative. I too choose to see the good and not dwell on the negative.
ReplyDeleteTo love everything except for rootbeer, liquorice and bok choy... well, I'd say that's a life well lived!
ReplyDeleteI love your stitching, and black licorice.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love this post!! What a wonderful way to look at life :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for making me laugh today Evalina. I love what you don't like.

Love the positivity . . . I'm with you on the root beer front urgh!
ReplyDeleteI love this Evalina - and your love-not-so-much list makes me laugh. And I do love to laugh.
ReplyDeleteThis is great post - and your don't like list makes me laugh. Thanks for sharing your outlook on, and the loved things in, your life.
ReplyDeleteSuch a well put post. Awhile back I stitched "This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be happy in it." I try to live by that-I don't always succeed but I do try.
ReplyDeleteLove your post for today's prompt with Reverb14! Thank you for sharing your simple love list AND for sharing the things you aren't fond of - that can be just as important!
ReplyDeleteNooo! Bok choi is delicious and nutritious in stir-fry! Though maybe drowning it it sesame oil may be cheating... I'll agree with you on the licorice though, yuck. :D I think dreams are far, far away so that we keep moving towards them.
ReplyDeleteUne belle foto bonne journée Marie-Claire
