May there be peace within
Gus wakes me on my first day of Thanksgiving break. The first inclination is resentment of the sleep intrusion. I choose joy. Holding a warm cup of Java I join him on the back stoop. He sits, I stand. He lifts his snout to the sun. I lift my chin to the heavens, close myContinue reading “May there be peace within”

Bag on sidewalk…
Bag on the Sidewalk… Habit stacks complete, work complete, meeting in a few, gathering Gus we head out for our walk.

I left my gratitude journal at home today. Usually I put it in my purse. When I get to work it is the first thing I set on my desk when I get to work. Breaks, when I have moments between groups, I write gratitudes. I offer thanks for the good in my day, helpsContinue reading “Gratitudes”
Languish No More…
