I'm a person who often ponders what ifs and I've been trying to do that less really and instead go with the what is, the joy of the here and now. I love the above quote, especially as I believe we construct a lot of our own reality, that if our intentions are positive, we can make that positivity happen. Sometimes I worry that if I look forwards to something too much I might get disappointed. And I'm looking forwards to these next few days a lot. So much singing!! And then so much hanging out time!!
Of course positive thinking doesn't mean life goes smoothly, it won't stop planes or cars from crashing and I don't want to seem to belittle anyone's tough situations. I don't know that I would have the strength to remain kind with my captors in the way I've heard some folk be.
I had a delightful 20 minutes or so sat on the pavement near my house yesterday. I'd seen a bee that I knew would get stamped on if it stayed sprawled, lifeless, where it was, so I took her out some sugar water on a teaspoon and watched with fascination at her long tongue sucking/lapping it up. She certainly seemed revived after but I wasn't sure if I'd helped her on her way or merely prolonged an agonizing death. Intervening in nature can be a minefield. Let's assume for now I helped keep the essential bee population alive.
