Living in the present

My Dear Readers,
So today I have a present and past story combination to tell all you. Today at school one of my friends was having a minor crises because of her grade on a test. She kept freaking out about how her dad WOULD act when she got home. I kept telling her "well he's he is not doing anything right now, is he? We are sitting here on a water break (this was at marching band practice) having a god time!" As I said this it kinda made me realize how I do the same thing I was telling her NOT to do, but what I realized even more was how in the past six months I have really stopped doing that. I used to be terrible at predicting a situation, freaking out for a few hours, and then realizing it didn't even come to pass, but since I was in India and came back, I really don't do that anymore! Just a little realization I wanted to share.
Now I promised to tell about my trip to India, the four months in which I became a whole new person. This is one situation I will probably refer back to a lot as it was probably the most memorable two weeks of my life! I was helping out practically 24/7 at the temple in the Ashram where I was living. One thing about those two weeks was I never really thought. I mean like past five minutes. I had three four saris. Two white ones and two colored ones it took 24, to 48 hours to get your laundry back from the laundry hut, so I always had at least one to wear. My only pair of sandels had been stolen so I just walked about barefoot. Lunch, breakfast, and dinner were all cooked and served by the kitchen team, so I didn't need to worry about that. I just went to the temple and did what I needed to do. The other thing was there really wasnt rutein. I clearly remember one day the head preist said to me "We need to have a nice homa tonight. Please go set it up, it should be ready an about in hour." (a homa is an eleborate fire ritual)I started spulttering "I don't know how, isn't there anyone else? How can we get the whole thing done in a hour?" "he simply replied "do it" I said "Ok" and somehow it happened it got done. Thats what can happen when you are living in the now, the present moment things just fall into place.
I hope I havn't made this entry to long, and I hope I made myself clear. Feedback greatly appriciated. Thanks for reading!
