Love on hold

I am so deeply in love that I can hardly think about anything else. We won't be able to see each other again until the fall. Love...such a beautiful, wonderful thing. But I have to remind myself not to miss out on the joy of summer by counting the minutes, hours and days until I see him! I have to stay fully present in right now, in today. Must not wish any time away. Must be patient with life.

Hello again. I agree with your thoughtfulness and mindfulness. To support you … what are some things that you want to do in particular to enjoy your time before your fall reunion?

I believe in you.

@mathetmess What a terrific question! A few things are: enjoy being at events again, get together with friends, slim down and most importantly (though I'm writing it last in the list), continue work I've done on my inner life.

That sounds great. I am confident that your aspirations will keep you energised and focused during your waiting time. That's the key. I know sometimes I get lost in waiting times also, but having goals for the time is excellent.

@gentleEast8898 Appreciate your thoughts and intent about being patient and living fully the present. It helps to remind ourselves that love is not a happy-thereafter destination but a journey - a journey where you grow day by day into a more beautiful person. What could help you in your present days to take your journey forward?

@Fristo That's one of the most important things to remember in life and it applies to many scenarios. That there is a process, a journey. To answer your thoughtful question, some things that always help are spending time in nature, reconnecting with friends and taking time to stop and enjoy the moment.

@gentleEast8898 A person who is connected to oneself is able to feel connected to many and spread happiness to those around! (Such a person even comes to be immune when someone/some-situation is not as kind to them). I am glad to hear about what you expressed!
