what is saving my life..right now

It’s March 24th, almost summer (in my head).,

This isn’t an easy month——for many of us. To beat back the moodiness and how changes affected me, today I'm  sharing the things—big or small—that are saving us right now.

The idea comes from Jan and her memoir. Even though most of us can easily articulate what’s killing us, but few of us pay attention to what’s giving us life.

Once when my dear Jan E, was invited to speak at a gathering, her host told her simply, “Tell us what is saving your life right now.” She says it’s too good a question not to revisit from time to time.

This is an excerpt of my list. It’s a long list (yay!), and I’ve chosen to share the simple—though not always small—things.

Walking my dog. I wish I had 2, to give Carmela company. 

Learning to make tea. 

Learning to bake. Just saying this out loud makes me smile. I have never been good at the kitchen, so I think I'm mostly laughing of myself, but I been loving to Learn and make a mess so far. I don't eat sweet stuff so planning of whinti give this to has been fun.

Sunny days.

Early mornings having time to stare at myself and stretching my arms and legs in the bed, slowly, with no rush.

Visiting cafe Rebecca.

Planning my next hiking adventure.

Meditation.

The little things.

Today, thinking about this post, saves me and keeps me alive.
