Yes it is the new year, 2021. I can not believe it when I look at that number. I remember when I was growing up and thinking toward the future, 2021 was so far away. I thought we would have traveled far into another galaxy or dimension by now, but nope, we are right here, right now on planet earth. So what are we going to do different?
I say the only goal we really need to set for ourselves is the goal to be a better person! If we head that direction all the other little stuff will fall into place like eating right, exercising, controlling our anger, getting a grip on our spending, and loving our family. We can include forgiveness in there if we feel up to that part. Also patience with ourselves because change is hard on any level.
I gave up chocolate on the first of this year, and last night on the second night of the year I ate two chocolate muffins and drank a cup of milk. My reasoning was that I did not want them to go to waste, so I thought I should just get them out of the freezer, before they got freezer burn, and eat them. They were delicious and made me feel like shit. So much for that resolution. I will try another later.
We can set any goals we want, be anything we want, go in any direction we want. It starts with that first step, and that first day. As far as I am concerned everyday can be the first day, so today I ate salmon and salad. I feel great.
In the chaos that is flowing around I ask you to take a moment to listen to some really special music. Something soft and flowing, perhaps without words so that you will not be distracted. Let the music carry you away. Let go of your troubles and worries, they can come back later.
I listened to some of the most beautiful music by ” Hauser” he is one of the worlds greatest cello players. Actually he and his friend have been a group of two for years called 2cellos. They are fabulous. And they are lovely to look at too.
I listened to them playing the song ” hallelujah” and the music pierced my heart traveling all the way through into the universe. It was like I was at a standstill floating freely among the stars, and the music. It was so lovely. And no I was not under the influence of anything but the music coming out of that box and into my heart. I felt in that moment that there was nothing in life worth giving up such a wonderful sense of peace for. We must not let the day to day chaos injure our souls. It is not worth losing that sense of peace over some garbage that we can’t even control.
When you are feeling down find something to lift up your mood. Music is the best weapon against the dark side. It has the ability to help us let go of the inner turmoil. It is magical in it’s power to bring about a change in us, and the things around us. Music has been shown to even soothe the animal world.
So go to You tube, we all love You Tube, and watch a video by ” Hauser” or the 2 cellos and let your sadness and pain flow away. We are perfect just the way are. We just need a little tweaking every now and then, and music can be that instrument. And as I always say have a great day today, you and I deserve it.
