Mindfulness mindset

The following post was originally shared on JMgallery where I curate art, photography, images that speak to me. Today, these depictions focus on mindfulness which is an art within itself. The above captures my positive mindset and peaceful focus to allow me to become present in the NOW. To be appreciative of the WOW! Yes the quote and the image harmoniously flowed together to create a positive vibe sent out to the universe. I can't do anything constructive about my woes at the moment so you allow it to drift away. Efficiently filed to be handled effectively, like you usually do.

The art of mindfulness
Practicing the art of mindfulness is a lot harder than it sounds. In principle, you are meant to focus on this minute, this second. Building awareness of all things, people, events happening around you in the moment for the moment. Discipline and meditation are definitely helpful to reach this art of being at peace with oneself in the universe. Forgiving, forgetting and forgoing any despondency or regrets, do differently, and if only I had.

Visually, it is easier to center on yourself in the moment. I've gathered some art to forget bitter memories, beating up one's self for mistakes and least of all removing worry about tomorrow. All you have is this moment.

You ARE lucky.
You are here, you are now. What you do differently this very second can bring inner peace and thankfulness for what you have. No allowances for reflections of moments gone past, or fervour on what you desperately want tomorrow. All you have is today.

What can you do differently?
Discarding annoyance is a favor you gift to yourself. Opening up your mind and heart to others that may seem different to you is a gift of mindfulness.

Discover the secret
Let the past melt away. Forget about goals, dreams, wants, needs. What do you have in this present moment? Eyesight to enjoy beautiful images, hands to create beauty, ears to hear melodies that sing to your soul.

Beauty: from within
Is harmony between the heart and the soul, joined in symphony to bring inner peace. The best thing you can do is listen to your favorite music and gaze upon and marvel at the little things that center you, dissuade you from dwelling on the past or striving for that which is beyond reach.

A topic that is too judgMENTAL ::... transgenders

Too few role models: SOURCE A question was posted on QUORA and I felt compelled to respond: Why don't transgender people use the restrooms corresponding to their genitals to try and end the needless transgender bathroom controversy? It is none of our business. This reminds me of things we have to struggle with growing up::…. what IS our identity? What IS our moral standard? Should others have THE right to determine what is best for US? Almost ALL of us in the age of inBETWEENers (born 1960 to 1965, neither Baby Boomers, Generation X, nor Millennials) must REMEMBER what the biggest questions of our day were? If others forgot, I can share with you: Do you or don’t you circumcise your newborn son? SOURCE : "Boys" by William E. Rochfort Remember that? I do. Is it necessary or more to do with mental well being our our son: likeness to daddy. It was something I read avidly read about because sometimes reading becomes “PEACE of MIND”. In this inst...

Testing ... reDEFINING

Postings on the Edge a twist of words as reference to Postcards from the Edge. Kindred spirits join the journey. But first, you need to begin with me firstly by watching "Bright Lights" with Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds Take in the poignant moment when Carrie visits her dying father, Eddie Fisher, with more forgiveness than any one I've ever known. Compassionate creatures enveloped from the vessels of "Singing in the Rain" fame, Debbie Reynolds, and her daughter "Princess Leia" Carrie Fisher who wrote "Postcards from the Edge" starring Shirley McClain and young upstart Merle Streep. I watched this this afternoon after taking the HUNKster's suggestion of HBO's "Bright Lights" last night when we returned home after sharing a hearty dinner with great friends. Quality overpowers time every time Suggesting quality is not defined by length of time spent together, but in the value and peaceful-ness ...

A mom's brag book of her #A+mazing millennial children

None of my kids read any of my blogs so it is pretty near 100% guaranteed that it is true. However, my one daughter told me that at least one of her friends reads this blog Out of the 6 or 7 blogs that I curate and/or I write about varying topics that interest me or developed or furthering knowledge on something that grabs me. Having grown up conversations with a daughter is a new and wonderful experience. How far we've both grown from a nervous wreck of a mother, tasked with an ailing son who needed additional care and attention while she was a bright shining star, oozing with talent from every pore. A mother's gift is sometimes recognizing the gift in her children. Why else would Elvis Presley's mom have been the subject of his first recording? A miracle talent nurtured and encouraged by a mother's love. There are far too few examples shared in the world these days. SIDEBAR: (I haven't done one of these for quite so...
