"the work of life"

Today, I am grateful for the health and safety of the people I love.  

I am learning how to find my joy and return to a place of peace.  I have searched for happiness in the work I did or in the people I surrounded myself with, I was reaching outside to "fill the gap." Spoiler alert, that only led to more discontent.  I am now in the process of journeying in, taking responsibility for my feelings and working to fill my own cup with self love. This is the "work of life." It's not easy. Totally worth it, but not easy. 

I accomplished not force filling the blank spaces today.  I have a tendency of cramming something into every moment of my workday.  This was how I defined "success." I am realizing while this checks a lot of things off the list, it doesn't allow my brain time for creative thinking.  I gave my brain room to breathe today and still completed all of the things that needed to be done.  The best part, I did it with ease instead of anxiety. 

I delighted in a stranger giving me the peace sign.
