Day 2,961

Growth:

Behold the healing power of sleep! For reals, getting about 10 hours of sleep last night helped to make some huge progress on the chest cold and cough I’ve been fighting off. It also helped me sharpen my focus and make progress on my thoughts while avoiding distractions. When in doubt catch more zzz’s!

Appreciation:

We all go through difficulties in life, it is a part of the human experience. What a gift it is to be able to help others through their struggles by creating something positive from our own!

In the moment of frustration and hurt we can easily get lost in only that present moment, in the pain of that time. with the benefit of time and hindsight we can see how we may transform the pain of that experience into something beautiful in helping someone else through their struggle. Our pain was still real, but the pain fit another may have been softened and absorbed through ours.

Presence:

Hiking in the fall with family is one of my very favorite things! The smells and sights are amazing, but what really stuck out to me today was listening to the trees groaning and talking in the wind. So clear, so loud, so beautiful.

Thanks!!!
