nourish your whole self

Today, I am grateful for the opportunity to get out of my self and to be of service. 

I am learning how to be gentle and fierce, patient and persistent, how to live in the balance of all things. 

I accomplished getting the Poebear out for a long walk before volunteering, making space for my meditation practice, and patiently waiting in line at the post office. 

I delighted in witnessing the kindness of strangers, in helping a student get back into class after a minor meltdown, in watching a six-year-old express genuine compassion toward a five-year-old, and in relaxing after a full day.
