Every Friday, Lisa Jo Baker hosts a blog link up called Five Minute Fridays. She provides a word prompt and then participants are to set their timers for five minutes and then write until the timer goes off. The word for today is Here. Happy Friday Divas and here goes:
If you have EVER been to one of our classes, you know the music will be loud. There is a method to the madness. When the music is loud, it is hard for my old brain to think about a lot of different things. Y’all know when you really need to think about something or parallel park, you have to cut the music down!
Having the music blaring in class makes it hard for my mind to race around with thoughts. During class, my mind rests while my body works out. For probably the first time all day, I am “here” fully present with what is currently happening.
If I am really honest, I don’t spend a lot of time “here” mentally. I am often thinking and planning on the next thing.
“Of course things will be better when I am THERE instead of here, right?”
Well, that all depends. When I get THERE, I will really be at the very place I am currently located…..which will be “HERE”…then.
Dear God, help me remember that THERE is really HERE when I get to it. Oh Lord, forgive me for always striving for the next bling without enjoying the raw beauty of the gem called “HERE”.
STOP
