Appreciate Now

I just sat in meditation - had a feeling my Inner Being wanted to give me a message so I sat in silence, closed my eyes and listened. It said: APPRECIATE NOW.

In my meditation, I was sitting in lotus position on my bed in my house. While I remained still, the world around me spun and shifted. My surroundings became not this house I live in now, but a spectacular Spanish style mansion on the coast. While my surroundings changed, I remained "here" sitting. And it felt good for a moment, to be sitting in a new place with newer, nicer surroundings around me. Yet, I realize I was still the same, it was still me sitting "here", no matter what the surrounding was.

It's not about changing or shifting my surroundings, it's about changing, shifting me!

The words "Appreciate Now" came to heart. Appreciate now. Appreciate what I have NOW! Appreciate this moment NOW! I have a beautiful house NOW, with a beautiful pool and living space NOW! But it doesn't matter what I have surrounding me now, it matters that I am here NOW. Here, no matter how the surroundings change around my here to create a different here, I am always HERE. NOW.

I appreciate now.
