I tossed and turned last night and my day, like many days, started at 5 in the morning. Before the streets of New York have awakened, before even the sun.
Not sure if it was the rain or the mood, but things were kind of downhill from there and I had difficulty bouncing back to my usually happy self...
I took a breather, I got a coffee, I talked it out and still, there was a bit of residual resentment.
Sometimes, a nap doesn’t make everything better and sometimes, breathing just doesn’t work.
But all of that together, with good people and good vibes, and grounding ourselves in looking at things with compassion, and not assuming malicious intent, can peace be welcomed.
It took me a bit longer today and I was very out of character, but it’s because I needed to be reminded of the signs of when I stray from center and how to get back.
Practice makes perfect. I will continue to practice of letting go of the things I cannot control and to change the things that I can, in order to create a life for myself that I am proud of and value for the world that is needed. The universe has my back, and everything is happening and unfolding in the exact way that it should.
I must remember to be grateful for the good. I am grateful to my friends and my support systems. Thank you for checking in, and letting me know you’re there. Felt it right in my soul. I am thankful for the luck and manifestation of my dreams and aspirations, of my progression upward professionally, and of the mentors in my life.
I appreciate this life. I appreciate the people in it, even more. Today was tough. Lost a bit of faith in humanity. There will be more. But tomorrow is another day.
I will face it with love.
