My life on cloud 9.

I appreciate living a healthy life. Being able to wake up in the morning take deep clean breaths and ably getting around feeling mostly securely at ease with where things are in my life. There is a lot to be said for having a clear head, being able to make decisions with judgment and deference to the goings on around you. I rather cherish my God-given gift of discernment, in a spiritual context meaning: perception in the absence of judgment with a view to obtaining spiritual direction and understanding. In a broader sense, nothing truly tragic has happened in life. I say broad because losing your mom to an undiagnosed heart condition, losing your brother to cancer in his 40's and having another brother lost to the world is tragic on some level. It all affects you. We are all intricately connected whether living on cloud 9 or not. At any given moment we are all connected and in truth the same, made of the same organic matter that is.  What makes us different are our mindful and spiritual choices.

I choose to live on Cloud 9. This to me means seeing the upside to every little thing. To try in all circumstances to remain positive and well-intentioned. To give the benefit of the doubt liberally. To share my feelings abundantly. And to be acutely present when others are feeling.

Cloud 9 can be lonely at times. When you are always trying to set the example, be the example, days to be off don't come easy. I find myself having to work at remaining authentic while showing my vulnerabilities. I can be extreme in some ways. Very sad, very happy, very very very a lot of things.

I am grateful for friendship. The kind that sees cloud 9 for what it really is. Cloud 9 is not about being blissfully happy or even about floating on air. Cloud 9 is a choice of choosing peace of mind over pieces of chaos. That is how I choose my friends on Cloud 9 too. I ask, is this relationship supporting my peace of mind or gravitating toward pieces of chaos? It is that simple.

I hope to meet you on Cloud 9. Deep breaths, nice air, great people.

    I love being around people. I would rather live falling than break my spirit never trying anything hard. This blog is about trying and retrying life.
