As I was reading it, I realized that I had written something very similar back in October. It's a good reminder for me to keep my chin up! And a little dog shit never hurt anyone ;) It's so easy to get caught up in the worry of the next moment, but the truth is that we only have the very one we are in now. I'm taking an e-course right now and one of the things we are working on is BEing the journey, not being on the journey. And I soooo relate to this ~ I’m always thinking about the future and rarely in the here and now, but I realized that the future I’m in tends to be a PROJECTED future (usually awash in fears) and the reason I’m there is because I’m stuck staring unconsciously at that spot three feet in front of me. .-= olive & hope´s last blog ..<a href="http://oliveandhope.blogspot.com/2010/02/thats-where-im-at.html" rel="nofollow">Not Perfect or Pretty.</a> =-.

In fact, I'm going to explore that a bit. Thanks for the inspiration. And, yes, I completely agree that a smile back can absolutely make my day. Even the act of smiling, myself, can improve it. :) Molly: Oh, the fear of looking someone straight in the eye – I totally get that. In fact, I’m going to explore that a bit.

Does that make sense? Anyway, enjoy your journey, wherever it leads! Karen: I am curious to know, too, so please follow up with me.

Love it. I actually tend to be one of those people always looking up at the sky. But often I do look straight ahead and I'm always wondering why it's so scary to look someone in the eye sometimes. I often try to smile, without being creepy, hopefully, and you know what, a smile back sometimes makes my day. .-= Lollygagger´s last blog ..<a href="http://dillydallylollygagger.blogspot.com/2010/02/what-to-expect.html" rel="nofollow">what to expect</a> =-.

But then, with a tiny bit of reflection, I realized that I DO look down while I walk (and it's not like I'm doing it to avoid dog shit - my thoughts are just often somewhere else) - and somehow I know this is connected to how I get tripped up when I'm working... I am SO curious to see how I can bring chin up thinking into my life (and my walking)! So cool - can't wait to see what comes up. .-= Square-Peg Karen´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SquarePegReflections/~3/VXXeLOae92g/be-inspired-be-encouraged-be-you.html" rel="nofollow">Be Inspired Be Encouraged Be You</a> =-.
