"pain is inevitable, suffering is optional"

Today, I am grateful that I understand pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional. 

I am learning how to continually come back to the present and take life one moment at a time. 

I accomplished revising my business plan for what felt like the thousandth time. 

I delighted in celebrating my soul sister's sober birthday, in watching a cute movie with my bestie, and taking steps to bring my dreams to fruition.
