Living consciously… it seems obvious.
But really, how often are we just going through the motions?
For me, unfortunately, it is frequently. I am so distracted most of the time… my mind is somewhere other than here.
As much as I don’t like Oprah, I recently heard her say something about making conscious decision. She was referring to managing money. But I got to thinking about it.
Living consciously applies to all aspects of life. I’ve been working hard to loose weight, and the biggest change I’ve made is “no more mindless eating.” I stop and think before I begin eating.
Why can’t I tell myself, “no more mindless spending, playing, loving, interacting, or living?”
I want to wake up to conscious living and my full potential.
I want to show up for every moment of every day.
I want to make tremendous contributions in my life and to my loved ones, and my community.
I know this isn’t like most of my posts, but it’s how I am feeling today. After having SO much fun Saturday, and really enjoying myself, I want to experience every day like that.
So I may not be posting as often, as I am hoping to spend less time on the computer and more time with my kids and husband. Before I know it, the kids will be grown. I want them to remember things we did together; not me sitting at the computer or texting on my phone. I want Mr. A. & I to enjoy each other now and have great memories.
Well, I’m off to paint Little Miss’s toe nails. Then the kids & I are off to have a picnic & walk trails at the Nature Center.

So, so true. I have thought the same things lately. Well, in different words, but same concept.
Here's to living!
I do live in fear my kids' lasting image of me will be of my back, as I sit in front of my computer. Today I got up and went outside to blow bubbles with the kids. And it was so fun! Good for you – I hope you have an awesome summer!
You have your priorities in the right spot then!
Good for you, Jill! Oh, and I don't like Oprah either!
