The flow of life...


Still in Fort Lauderdale, or Fort Lingerdale as it's sometimes called.  Sailors tend to linger here; waiting on a weather window; not unlike ourselves at the moment.

I made a New Year's resolution.  And I never make them.  It was 'to go with the flow'. I know living on a boat with the blog slogan, "Living Life One Day At A Time", is something a 'go with the flow' girl would do, however, do not be fooled.  I have an idea in my mind about how things should be before they happen and I get too attached to the end result; I often find myself losing sight of the present moment.  I am aware that this happens sometimes and it's something I am trying to work on.  So this year I am taking it full on.  Present moment only; living life as a continuous flow.

"Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry- all forms of fear- are caused by too much future and not enough presence.  Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of non-forgiveness are caused by too much past and not enough presence."
-Eckhart Tolle

I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year and all your resolutions are in full swing!
