practicing my personal mission statement

I went to work today - did good work except for one issue I might

have eff'd up on - not sure...but it's entered into the computer

now...we will just have to make a change if it is an issue.

Anyhow, I came home from work - glad to be done with the workday -

ate lunch - took a shower and dressed - and went to get a coffee -

I finished my coffee and sat there on the couch relaxing - but then

felt myself starting to lean and ruminate - and I just remembered to

kind of practice an awake sense - a mindfulness - and instead of leaning

and become linear - I decided and was inspired to think about - the concept

of what my therapist had talked about in terms of having my own mission statement

for my life... it was extremely helpful ---- I came to the realization of my mission statement

in full last week...but thought about it on my way to and from coffee today as well...

I may not have children... I may be a single, older guy... and I think if I were a Dad or was married

or had a robust professional life...a lot of relationships and activity scheduling would be kind of

'built into that' if that makes sense. In other words- I'd be going to PTA meetings and soccer games

and so on...not to mention business meetings etc... 

So I know I am still able bodied to do somethings and I do the Treepeople.org events on Saturdays.

And that is really great! I love it! It also definitely fits in with my outlook and mission... 

I just know right now in my time off from work - rather than go all big picture and abstract about 

what I should be doing... maybe I can shift myself to steadiness by asking myself about

my mission statement... it's a really helpful tool and idea...

Life can be really abstract and messy inside a lot after a day at work or whatever really

...I'm reminded to use a good atitude .....to spin it to your positive action to take -

and I'm looking at my mission statement along with a positive attitude to take on

any challenge at the moment or that lies ahead!

Peace and good vibes,

Mark
