SOOC Saturday~Living In The Moment

Living In The Moment

Often when I hear this phrase it evokes in me images of happy busyness.
Lots happening around oneself and being a part of it.
Laughing, smiling, joyousness.
At the moment I am feeling very, VERY disjointed.
A lot is happening around me, not all of it is necessarily happy goings-on.
There is turmoil, confrontation, challenges, frustration and 
an overwhelming feeling of helplessness.
Today~'living in the moment' has meant retreating.
Finding a quiet space to avoid the confrontation.
Time to think.
Time to reflect.
Time to regroup.
Time to make a plan.
Time to rejuvenate my mind.
So that tomorrow I can rejoin the world.
The world outside of my shell.
Because tomorrow is a brand new day
and I will most definitely BE a part of it.
For today I am in my own little world
and I feel safe and warm in here.
Slurping Life
Pop on over to Melody's Place
See how others are Living In The Moment
Because each of us has many different moments to share.
We are sharing them SOOC~Straight Out Of Camera~No Editing Allowed!
Thank you for being a part of mine today.

Cheers
Jewelz

    That was lovely, and a beautiful image to go with it. How did you take it? Or is it not you?

    I love this shot...the lighting from the window silhouetting you is beautiful. Praying today is a better day that you can face head on.

    Everything about this is beautiful and this past week I have made a point to carve out 30 minutes a day to just be without any outside interference so it hits me to the core.

    I am sorry you're feeling sad these days. Just remember, everything always gets better.

    Maybe this is a good time to paint. I hope you will, so I can see some more of your lovely creations. This is a selfish request.

    I'm sending you happiness from Canada.
