A good way to see miracles…

It's so easy to wear the blinders of "bad news" or struggles we have had in the past. We drag them along with us, allowing them to obscure the present and inhibit our ability to see the daily miracles all around us. Well, I just saw this post by Neale Donald Walsch (author of "Conversations with God") that speaks directly to unburdening ourselves – and our ability to see – from the past. Read on:

Neale Donald Walsch
The past is the past and has nothing to do with you. It has nothing to do with Right Now. Do not let anything from your past inhibit you in this Present Moment. Start over. Start Fresh. Each day. Each hour, if it serves you. Heck, each minute. Just get going.

Understandably, I've been "guilty" lately of allowing my mother's death to overshadow all that's good in my world (and really, how could it not?) But this message made me realize that while I miss her, and while I so desperately wish she were still here, my sadness around her death doesn't have to color each moment of every day. If I have to drag any baggage along with me, let it be the good memories of her. Starting now – and maybe every "Now" – I'm starting over, without the blinders and the heavy baggage of the past. It's a new…Now.  Isn't that a much lighter way to travel??? Thanks, Neale!
