Today was not the best. Gray and gloomy weather-wise, not enough sleep. Emotional ups and downs. Cursing. Yelling. Thankfully, tomorrow is a new day. I'm grateful for the chance to keep going, keep trying. Like Mary Oliver asks in her poem, The Summer Day, "Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" Tonight my answer is this: Keep going. Breathe in and experience what is. Breathe out and try to offer something positive. In the words of Jon Kabat-Zinn, I want to try to "see with eyes of wholeness, and act with integrity and kindness;” to maintain an awareness of what is important to me and try to "embody it" with the way I am in the world.
Catching up on your blog. I love this post! It's a great reminder, not just for the new year, but for every new day. Thank you for this!
