A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at. ~ Bruce Lee

Greetings CowGirls and Tushakteers!    Yes, I am still in Tucson (another two weeks of cactus bliss), writing to you in Happy Chirping Bird mode. 

I woke up late this morning (after 8 a.m. Tucson time/11 a.m. Eastern time–OMG, can you imagine?)!  Waking up to the sounds of the birds chirping is an amazing gift from the _____  (God(s), the Universe…fill in the blank in whatever resonates best for you).

In my half sleepy, blissed bird state, while still tuned into the chirping, I silently repeated ten affirmations (see below), with the intention of creating a very “present” day, as in being fully awake in the moment, in the now, truly taking in and appreciating each beautiful second, one at a time. 

At the same time, I “get” Bruce Lee’s above quote.  My goal may be to stay in the present moment, fully awake to the beauty, the miracles, the abundance that so clearly exists, but life is bound to come along and toss a twig or even a boulder in front of me and/or my mind is likely to hijack my “now,” and drag me into some mental drama.  So…I am going to aim for “total bliss,” and be thrilled with whatever happiness floats to the surface! 

Chew on that while you read through and either utilize these fabulous affirmations to start your day, or tweak them for a better “you” fit, or write your own!
