Take each day as it comes

That's what I've been trying to teach myself.

I always find I'm waiting for that next thing, that next moment, the next life milestone. It seems as soon as I reach what I've been waiting for I'm not paying attention to it anymore and am looking to the horizon again.

So today at lunch time I went for a walk and made a really big effort to be there in that moment. I tried to make the connection that in that hour, the time was mine, that I didn't have to be anywhere than where I wanted to be. It was so pretty outside, walking past lovely old houses and lovingly kept gardens.

On return to the office, I have decided to just focus on today. What can I achieve today? With the knowledge that I do have, what can I do? And so I plan on doing my best at what I can. Rather than feeling stressed and worried that I haven't managed to learn it all at once. Instead of looking forward to the day I can do it all ( many months from now) I'll focus on doing the piece of work in front of me to the best of my ability, and possibly learning something new along the way. Try as I might I am not super woman, and have been a little too hard on myself the last few weeks.

So what am I enjoying about this moment now?

*I can access blogger at work
*I have the radio on and a nice song is playing
*I'm in air-conditiony comfort
*I have a loving partner to go home too
*I have a delicious coffee on my desk
*I can smell someones yummy perfume
*My co-workers are pleasant people

Lots to enjoy about now! I'm going to go enjoy the feeling of achievement from getting a piece of challenging work done now! :)
