Each day is an invitation from life to participate.  We are given everything that we need to face the day if we choose to do so in partnership with the Great Creator that has called upon us to engage in this new day.  Overwhelming is a term I have used to express what it feels like when I think things in life have become too much to handle.  I think we all have used it at some point or another.  What I realized is that when I am in a state of overwhelm it is usually because I am taking on more than I need to–emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually.  The expectations I have of myself are often super-human.  Perhaps it is the super-hero childlike mentality of wanting to surpass my human experience which was too much for my human self that now translates into needing to do things “just so” or having to be the one to make sure something gets done.  Unfortunately, this causes my energy to deplete quickly and I am not able to be present to what is happening in my life this day.  There is a reason why life comes to us right now.  It is the moments that we are asked to be engaged in right now that we can experience fully if we are open to living this one moment versus concentrating on living a whole life. Often I get the simplest of messages from God, I AM Here with you.  Be with me. My breath can be a reminder of where I am invited to be because I can do take only one at a time.  There is no storing of breath for the future or going back and breathing my last breath, it comes and go and gives new life to my body and my soul each time.  When I want to be elsewhere then where life is calling me to engage, my breath beckons me to the present and my God invites me to see the love and the beauty of the moment.  My prayer for us today is that we be guided by the simplest form of life as to where to engage by being with our breath.  Make it a great one!
