Still working on finding the goodness and gratitude daily.
How are you guys doing with that?
I’m seriously asking…

Each day brings bounty
Each morning is surprising
What you hunger for

   Those are gorgeous veg – and it is, indeed, a daily gift and a wonder that hunger returns.

   This project has been so good this month – to help frame the time. I try to touch base with gratitude daily, but I find that I have to touch base with news a lot less. Reminding myself that I am not drowning in my lungs but healthy and eagerly watching the progress of the sprouts in the garden helps. Writing letters and sending cute cards helps. Doing something for someone else always helps; we become defensive and morose when we are too self-centered. I intended to become more involved in doing arts and coloring and painting and creating, but I’m trying to let that come as it will, instead of leaping face first into making a sourdough starter or something. What “everyone” is doing is obviously not really everyone; none of us work that way.

   This is hard, but it’s a little easier for me, I think, because when I was contracting this autoimmune in 2018, I had to slow down and nearly stop in order to accommodate my suddenly painful, unwieldy body. I am in the habit of thinking of what I still have, and what cannot be taken. That is my focus now: what cannot be taken…
