Little buddha meditating

A few months ago, we went to visit family at the Botanic Gardens...........we've been once during draught conditions, and went back again once there had been some decent rain......it was lovely on both occasions, but the one place that remained the same (and was astonishingly beautiful both times,) was the Japanese Gardens. It is a lovely spot to sit and reflect, and as the photo shows, even my oldest boy got into the 'spirit' and became a little buddha for the day!!!!

I have just finished reading Eckhardt Tolle's workbook that accompanies 'The Power of Now,' and I feel that a part of me has changed, for the better, forever. This book has changed my outlook on life, and much like buddha, I am feeling enlightened and completely conscious. No longer am I angry about past events, for this does nothing to change the situation. No longer am I worried about 'what if' because I can't control the future for everyone. I am focussed on the Now, and I am enjoying the everyday lurks and perks of life. My husband is still hesitant about my behaviour, to the point that he's sometimes trying to stir the angry dragon in me, just so he feels like life is back to normal!!!! But I love him and accept him for what he is - even if he's a pain at times, he is wonderful and everything I've ever wanted in a husband and father!!! Gush Gush I'm feeling a little ill!!!............

So now that I am feeling more confident about the past, I will look to the Now, and keep my eyes open for opportunities whenever they avail themselves to me...............which seems to be happening lately!!!

I am a wonderful child of the Universe, and the Universe looks after me!!!!
