Still Beginning

I have been writing the manuscript of The Journey Before Us preparing for the presentation on Sept. 17 and 18--I have probably worked on it about 8 hours in the last two days.( And probably have about 8 hours to go before I will have it ready for our planning meeting on Friday.)

I find it is so much easier to begin things than continue and finish them.

But I want to continue and finish this. I believe in it.

What would be possible if I said "Yes!" to life as it is now--under these present circumstances?

Now is the continuing. The showing up and doing. How can we say Yes! to the future when we do not step up to saying Yes! to our today? So yes to slugging through. And yes to feeling like I am writing to myself--which I do anyway!! And yes to believing that life is improved by living each day. Not just thinking about living, but actually living it.
