Thank you for all the reminders of how we can find calm in the midst of this very troubling time. Watching the bees, reading a good novel, and chilling out. Tonight I just enjoyed a Nate Bargetzie (sp?)

on Netflix. It felt good to just laugh at small things.

I’m trying to focus on relaxing and having fun where I can so my blood vessels can relax and I can truly see the good in my life. I love your quote. “My ability to find calm each day is greater than the world’s ability to disrupt it.” Yes, may we find that calm tomorrow and the next day.

I love you noting the relaxing and having fun so your blood vessels can relax. I can feel stress at the cellular level sometimes (also joy, like right now with everything growing and blooming and insects emerging, I feel that so strongly and it’s such a hopeful thing) and the only thing that remedies it is finding peace in just being deeply in observation of something outside myself. I’m grateful there are so many things around me that I love to observe that way. And yes, I love “it felt good to just laugh at small things.” That is so important right now.

Yes, to find that peace when we are observing something outside ourselves is just divine. I’ve been watching the beautiful big blue Herons out my window lately as they fly from nest to ground. Its like I’m seeing them do their daily foraging and I just enjoy it .
