"Each morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most." (Buddha) What an incredibly simple, yet powerful, statement. The past is the past. It is gone and we cannot change what happened yesterday, last week or a decade ago. Tomorrow is not ours...yet. There is no use in fretting over what may come or what might be. Today, however, is a whole different story.
Today you can choose to change your entire life...or not. I'm not suggesting that you do. For all I know you have a perfectly happy life as it is. But don't you find it unbelieveable that with each and every day you have a choice of which path you might direct your life? The choice can be as simple as approaching your day with a positive attitude or going for a walk or eating healthier foods. Each of those seemingly simple choices can have a profound effect on our lives and the lives of those around us. It's the proverbial line of dominoes. Tip one over and the others are soon to follow.
Tomorrow, Lent will end. For those who are unfamiliar, Lent is a Christian time of prayer, reflection, fasting and deepening one's faith. The end of Lent is marked with Good Friday and then Easter Sunday, a time of renewal, new life and new beginnings. For me it represents a time of hope, not unlike the hope I feel as I approach each new day.
So, I invite you to join me in this time of renewal, no matter what your faith is. Take a moment to examine your life, your habits, your thoughts and deeds. Is there any room for renewal or change? It's a wonderful time to try new activities. The schedule above lists several events that are either free or low cost. If you have been curious about yoga, meditation or acro-yoga, why not try one of these activities? Today is a great day for a new beginning!
