Today is the 3-year anniversary of my first blog posting. Keeping a commitment to this blog — really a form of journaling — is part of my sincere wish to be a person who lives in the moment. Being mindful of what is happening — the big events as well as the tiny ones — on a minute-by-minute basis, brings a lot of joy. When I am truly living that way, I see so much more. What some think of as serendipity I think of as being open to seeing possibility and opportunity.
Today is also the 14th birthday of one of my best friends, Mendelssohn. Click on image for larger view.
His hearing and sight are not as keen as they once were, but he still brings joy and comfort each day. And inspiration! Did I forget inspiration? See for yourself here.
Today I am wishing for the kind of mindful living that will allow me to recognize the grace I receive in my life.
Never thought of blogging as a way to stay in the present, but I sure never get tired of reading your musings. Happy anniversary.
Thanks Sara. I think of it that way because I draw from daily life to write here. And who wants to hear about history? So this keeps me in the here-and-now and, hopefully, on task.
We truly are on the same wave length today. I hope that you’ve had a terrific day. I spent the first half of the day volunteering. I co-ordinated the food prep for a race with 1300+ participants. Turned out great.
Wow! Big job! Congratulations.
Happy Anniversary, Franki!! 🙂
Thanks Suzanne.
Congratulations in reaching this milestone. It’s a good way to use a blog, thanks for sharing with us.
And thank you for the feed back. I was thinking it had been 2 years, then I checked. It doesn’t seem possible that 3 years have slid on by.
Franki ! It seems so much longer than three years since you commenced blogging and I have read all your postings with interest. Keep up the good work and do keep Mendelssohn busy as your muse. Happy anniversary!
Maureen, thanks for being such a faithful reader and commenter! And thanks for the encouragement.
