Now

Using my friend’s example at Thanksgiving to remain calm and in the now, I managed to stay there most of yesterday.  There was a short panic trying to get all the food to the table and a few minutes of feeling overwhelmed by the quantity of people in my my place.  It was nice and instead of my usual ‘why do I do this?’ feeling, I knew why and embraced the fact that this is a gift to my friends, a sign of appreciation that they are part of my life and good people who like one another and have a good time, with good food for the holiday.

PS

I need to go back to my Fear and Love post and stop freaking out about things that may or may not happen. Live in the now and proceed.
