Birds

You can’t help that birds will fly over your head but you can stop them from building nests in your hair. – Unknown

Such a great quote.

It is such a good reminder not to let obsessive thoughts nest.

Sometimes I feel like I am in a scene from the Alfred Hitchcock movie, The Birds.

Way too many birds.

… for me my mind never stops and I find it so easy to latch on to a thought … it is like a broken record, replaying it over and over in my head.  

In doing so it takes me away from what matters most … this precious moment, right here, right now with you.

However I have tools, I have a choice to accept the thought as it is and simply let it go.  

How?

Just by labeling it … when a thought comes, I say ‘thinking’ and return back to my breath.  

Oh, I do this so many times a day, but it is ok.

What matters most is progress over perfection.  

As I do, I find peace and the gifts I receive being present are truly priceless.  

So … my birds aren’t nesting, they are migrating.

Have a wonderful day this Memorial Day and know you are truly loved just as you.  

Please take care of you.
