Grounding

Yesterday I had a good day. Today I find myself trying to duplicate the magic formula.

A voice inside reminds me 'Today is today! The people I ran into on the street yesterday are not going to be there today, but others will be. The sun isn't out today, but gray is okay. You had wild dreams last night about bombs and airplanes. Embrace this moment and it will add up to today.'

In receive-mode I can get strangely nostalgic, grieving for the very moment I'm in. I know that sounds odd but it's as if my imagination and worries cause a double vision. My task is to ground myself physically and mentally to create a clear picture. This is why my work, household chores and taking Lily for walks are a godsend.

Focus and listen.
