try new things

Today, I am grateful for the comfort of my bed. On days when my experience in the world is less than awesome, crawling into my magnificent bed is like hitting the reset button on life. 

I am learning sometimes the best thing to do is to just hold on. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and remember this too shall pass. I often try to force myself out of the funks of life, and what I've realized is that that is just my way of trying to control my experience. Truth...I have NO control. 

I accomplished being present. Being of service quiets my mind.

I delighted in being part of a children's art class, in texting with a friend I have known and loved for 39 years, and in giving a stranger a coffee.
