In a sea of sunshine, today there was a spot of rain. I have been feeling so good--so very very good--these past few weeks. I was excited by my life--thrilled to do my daily chores, loving tidying up my house, enjoying my kids even at their most difficult, looking forward to what is coming up and letting go of what has gone before. Reveling in life and honestly living in the moment. And then there was today. A long and cold (literally- winter seems to have come to the Northeast) reminder of what a mind can do when you run away with it. I tried to rein it in today, and then I tried to watch it run, and then I just gave up.
Finally, I went out for a run--got outside in the briskness, let my head breathe-- and I found an acorn, a most beautiful and perfect acorn on my walk home. The cap was still on--and he seemed, this acorn fella, so warm and and perfect and content. And he made me feel better.
Life isn't always easy but it sure is good.

I know how you feel! It's true, life isn't all so easy but it sure is good in many ways. Hope all is well.
I struggle with this everyday. feeling overwhelmed, and then having to remind myself to take a breth and remember how lucky I really am.
