tick, tick, tick

Sometimes I just sit quietly with my old watch up to my ear and listen to it tick tick merrily away... it is such a beautiful, rythmic, simple sound and yet such a great presence. It reminds me to stop and be grateful for each moment as time whizzes by!

When we worry, we can spend a great deal of our time stuck... either in the past, regretting decisions and mistakes, or transporting ourselves into the unknown of our future where we 'what-if' and, if we are not careful, hours, days, weeks and months can be wasted in this way.

So, for today, find a tick tick of a clock or watch, or the ding dong of a bell to remind you to breathe, smile and be thankful for the 'now'.
