The Sun Always Manages To Get Through

November 27, 2019

However you are spending this Thanksgiving holiday, whether it’s all good, or there’s some misfortune thrown in, find the gratitude in your heart — somewhere, somehow — and let it spread all through you, until there is no room for anything else.
Ok, except pecan pie. It would be unfortunate to not save room for that. ;-)

Happy Thanksgiving.

This Too Shall Pass

November 21, 2019

Packing up, moving — not just a house, but a lifetime.
I don’t know how I did it.

I got up at 4 am, sometimes cheated and got up at 3:30. Sometimes really cheating bad and not exercising. It was insane, and I knew it even as I did it. I didn’t think about it — the why, the logistics, the emotional toll. I just did what had to be done for that day.

Dogged perseverance.

Happy Thanksgiving

November 22, 2018

Fill your tummy with deliciousness.
Fill your heart with gratefulness.

Maybe the best you can do today is find a smidgen of something that’s going right in your life. Perhaps you’ll notice one little thing of beauty that brings you a moment of pleasure. Maybe you have an abundance of amazing good luck, no worries, no strife, and it’s easy to find good things all around you.

Whichever describes you best - maybe a combination of both - Thanksgiving is a perfect day for appreciation and gratitude.

And, of course, eat a lot of pie.
