Lesson 2646
A quiet moment to reflect
This morning I was invited to an LSKD partner event. I arrived early and found myself sitting still, taking in the view, allowing a moment to land.
This past week has held both triumph and tears.
Lunch by the ocean with friends.
Time spent with family.
A simple Friday night, lamb shanks shared with Larissa and Adam.
And also, a tender shift. My brothers moved my father into a nursing home on Friday. Conversations with my mum, who is now learning what it means to be on her own.
It has gently brought me back to the question, what truly matters?
What do we hold onto, and what do we let go of?
How do we live in a way that allows us to feel present, not just now, but as we grow older?
For me, it comes back to this.
To be authentic.
To be compassionate.
To care deeply for others.
We are given this one life.
No do-overs, no rewinds.
We can stay anchored in the past, in the should haves and could haves, or we can soften into what is here, while still holding gentle intentions for the future.
Because what we have today is not promised tomorrow.
So be here now.
Find your happiness in the ordinary.
Trust what feels right for you.
And live in a way that leaves no room for regret.
Alasana, A safe space to be you ®
