Life is Good.

I really have not been playing much poker lately, but it's not a complaint. When I play I am having fun and slowly building my BR. Life in general, has been good to me lately.

I am playing a lot more guitar and getting much better. I am loving my new job. And although My shoulders are all messed up right now, which limits my Aikido training, that has been good too.

When I really think about it, life has been good for a long time, it's just hard to see sometimes. When things are not going well, it is so easy to make those issues into the whole universe. They may be important and require attention, but they are rarely the deal makers and breakers that I make them out to be.

I have read so many things that have talked about the dangers of needing external conditions to be happy. "If I get X, then I'll be happy.". I knew the words, but I am really starting to see it in action.

I really don't know what is coming next, and I know there will be bad days, but I really want to hold on to this understanding when it happens.

Life can only be good now. Later never gets here.
