here and now

it's June...the kids finish school in about 3 weeks...we'll leave for our summer break in about 5(?) weeks...

I didn't want to leave my husband for too long all alone this summer but things turned out different and I decided to go for a totally different summer break. I decided for something that scares me a little bit and makes me nervous as soon as I start thinking. so I should just stop thinking and live and enjoy my here and now.

there is a lot of our friends leaving in just a few weeks (some already left), special activities for the last days at school, I have the opportunity to help with the end of school production, hanging out at the pool or beach...not bad I'd say. but still the here and now is hard to take in for me right now.

so now, I decided to write this. to make the here and now visible in writing to get me focused on right now. because that's where my family needs me and where there is special moments to take in that I shouldn't let just pass...

here and now I can enjoy a moment of peace and quietness as half the family already left the house and one little girl is still fast asleep. sure, as I let her sleep and take this moment in I am running late for whatever comes after but still...

except the things that need to be organized for summer break I am working on getting my mind into here and now to get the most out of it and enjoy.... I am sure my little girl gives me another 5-10 minutes I can sit down in meditation now...

may your day be filled with love, peace and harmony!
