Facing Today

I breathe in and I breathe out, resting in a belief that however my life unfolds today I have what is needed to face it.  Some moments of this day I will savor and enjoy.  Undoubtedly, some moments I will dislike.  Some might feel boring and others present a challenge.  Whatever develops I can choose to fight against my reality and push it away or I can open my arms and embrace it.  Accepting doesn’t mean I agree or approve of what’s happening; it just acknowledges that it is what it is.  When I avoid or deny what is, I increase my suffering.  However, when I open my heart to what my experience currently is, I can breathe, be authentic in the moment, and then make choices to work towards change.
