Flexibility 09.20.06

When we are flexible, we allow for situations we could not have planned, and so the world continues to surprise and delight us.
Today I am grateful...
  • that our daily amount of sunshine is decreasing meaning summer has just about given up
  • for the cool nip in the air yesterday and this morning
  • that I am working on my being judgmental
  • for the calmness and contentment my morning meditation time gives me
  • that one day soon this 'Tainted Love' brainworm will leave me alone
When we are rigid or stuck in our ways, instead of adjusting to the world around us we hunker down, clinging to a concept of reality rather than reality itself. When we do this, we cut ourselves off from life, and we miss out on valuable opportunities, as well as a lot of joy. ~DailyOm
I will work toward becoming the person my dog thinks I am. ~unknown (to me)

I always fancied myself a paper clip...you know you can bend it, twist it, reshape it - not a toothpick...one bend and snap.
Flexible I am.
I see you,
JJ

I am still flexible after all these years. I can touch my toes without bending my knees. Standing back up is another matter though.

I love TAINTED LOVE.
