If we approached our day knowing that all was taken care of, that we would have exactly what we needed to face the day and did not need to worry, wouldn’t we have a more peaceful day?  Hmm.  I am pretty sure this is what happens in nature.  I have not heard a tree speak this morning, but if it did I don’t think it would be going on and on about whether it would get enough sun or need to be re-planted somewhere else. It would have to be in complete acceptance of exactly where it is because it is not moving on its own accord.  If it is an oak tree it most likely doesn’t compare itself to a fir tree.  Life is simple for the tree.  It knows exactly who to be, how to be, what to be and thrives when it is in the groove of nature. Now I have more decisions and choices than a tree does but there are certain elements of my life that if I just sit back and relax about, my day would be a lot less pressured.  The biggest element for me is focusing on what I need to do today.  When I am anxious and disturbed it is usually because I am focusing on an outcome which is the future.  I worry it won’t turn out okay=the future.  If I stay grounded and focused in the moment, I am doing exactly what I need to be doing it to the best of my ability.  My prayer for you today is when you are not feeling grounded, that you stop and ask yourself am I being right here right now?  Or am I  trying to establish my being in the future?  Feel free to ask God for help on this one too.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
