By nature I am very analytical. VERY. To the point that, between the end of one sentence and the beginning of another, in my head, I’ve already broken down the conversation, found the “real” issue and formulated the resolution in my head. LOL

Every once in a while, being THAT analytical really gets in the way. See, I have this *thing* about understanding situations. For real. I would turn a situation over and over until I felt like I understood it. I remember telling people that my thing was I didn’t have to like a situation or agree with it as long as I could understand it. Ha!

I’m learning now that sometimes, even understanding a situation isn’t necessary. It’s not. Some things aren’t meant for me to understand. At all. Ever. Some things can only be understood in retrospect. And sometimes? Sometimes I simply have to learn to go with the flow.

Today I’m having one of those “go with the flow” moments. Well, it’s not *just* today. It’s a “go with the flow SITUATION”. Yep, the whole darn situation. So you know that requires an extra dose of “get-out-of-my-own-way”. LOL

Don’t get me wrong. It’s a good situation, a very good situation…actually it’s D-E-L-IC-I-O-U-S. Yet, my mind tends to want to wander down that path asking ‘what is this about’ and in this case, I don’t need to know. Well, truth is, I already know.** What I *need* to do is simply enjoy it. For what it is. At this moment in time. And what it is right now is beautiful. Simply beautiful.

The kind of beautiful that has you sitting at a stop light with that silly smile on your face. You know the one - the one that makes other people smile when they see it on your face and then they have no idea why THEY are smiling.

The kind of beautiful that has you humming something pretty without realizing it until someone asks you the name of the song.

The kind of beautiful that makes YOU feel beautiful…from the inside out.

The kind of beautiful that makes you realize that nothing beyond this moment matters right now. Not yesterday, not tomorrow…just today, these tender moments.

Because today? This moment?
This is where something beautiful is planted.

Because today? This moment?
This is where something beautiful will bloom. Be nurtured. Thrive. Become what it’s meant to be.

Because….today is THAT day.
The day that something beautiful is born.

Live from your soul,

“I thought that surrender meant losing myself, while in reality, surrender means finding my true self”. ~ Ric Beattie

“Sometimes what seems like surrender isn’t surrender at all. It’s about what’s going on in our hearts. About seeing clearly the way life is and accepting it and being true to it, whatever the pain, because the pain of not being true to it is far, far greater.” ~ Nicholas Evans

“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.” ~ Albert Einstein
