present moment fireworks

On daily headspa, we're blogging this week about being in the present moment.

Today is Territory Day in the Northern Territory of Australia, a day marked with copious amounts of fireworks. You can only buy fireworks up here for the few days leading up to today. I have no idea how long people save up the cash to buy the stockpiles they do.

It's challenging to settle into the present moment with bangs coming from nowhere and everywhere all at once!

No different than thoughts, really. Not that my thoughts are as exciting as fireworks, but they are just as random and just as distracting.

I played tennis today, which is a fantastic present moment activity. I love the concentration of it. In that sweet spot moment, all is now and I'm totally present. Sweet indeed.
