Are you at home? On the couch? In the bathroom? At the kitchen table?
Are you at work? Should you be paying attention to your job? Are you in the bathroom?
Are you out and about running errands? Are you waiting in line somewhere?
Are you out and about running errands? Are you waiting in line somewhere?
No matter where you are . . there you are.
If it's sunny or rainy; if it's close or far from family; if it's where you want to be or not . . . where you are is where you are. You are here.
Here is where you think good thoughts and do good things. Here is where you smile and share and clean and teach and grow. Here is where you cry when you need it. Here is where you work and exercise.
The magic of here is that it's also now. It's not "there" or "then" or "later". Here is the place that we live, day in and day out. No matter where you go . . you are still here.
"Here" is a place but it's also a state. "Here" is being present to what you are doing and who you are with. "Here" is where you are able to make today a good day.
It's good to make sure you are happy with where you are, with what you are doing. If you're not where you want to be, it's a good time to discover why not and where that is and work on how to make that happen.
Today can be a good day no matter where you are; it will happen here.
