Macrobiotic diet? What is that anyway? Yesterday a friend told me he
was having injections to remove all the metals from his blood stream.
He tells me that it makes you exhausted but you can live to be 100
years old. I don't know if I want to live that long. I live in a city
where nothing is ever enough. Bigger house, nicer car, prettier
girl, faster computer. I hired someone to wait in line for me to get
the new iphone the other day. Guess what? It's just a phone!!! No big
deal. I don't know where I'm going with this. I really have to
practice slowing my life down. Not being distracted by all the candy
on the sidelines can be challenging sometimes, but I know my life
runs just as well even when I don't have the latest gadget. In LA
you can phone your oven to preheat it from 80 miles away. The house
might be on fire when you get home but at least you cooked a turkey.
Today I will practice staying present and living in the moment. Not
tomorrow, not next week.... just right now. Be well.
