Exciting Life

We did Tulip Time parade today. Though it rained over the noon hour it was dry for the parade today but not very warm. We do have a few more tulips out now so that is good for our many visitors. Traffic around down town area is very congested. This is good for developing patience. We will attend a Tulip Time show this evening which features a group that does music from the 50's, 60's, and 70's so looking forward to that.
I'm working my way through a book titled Everyday Grace by Marianne Williamson. It leans a little bit toward New Age thinking but has some good spiritual insights.

"The time to show up fully for life is right now, whatever the circumstances. Life is a swirling pool of infinite potential at every single moment and we ourselves either activate or refuse to activate the mystical fertility of the universe. The only way to achieve an exciting life is to be willing to be excited and exciting. The only way to achieve an excellent life is to be willing to be excellent. Who and what we decide to be, in each and every moment, is reflected back to us in worldly forms. Situations that just "seem' to happen are not necessarily random at all. With every thought, we ourselves decide to welcome God's reality and its miraculous prospects."

Life is exciting and good when God is the center and foundation of it. It is important to "do what God says and say what God does."
