Today I am grateful for:
-this quote:
"Happiness is a way station between too little and too much."
-a lovely lunch with Jen Scott. She's just the best. I am so inspired by her all the time.
-this woman talking about her happy pigs. She said, "Yeah they're pretty happy. They only have one bad day." I found that to be really funny.
-gas costing less than $40. A Christmas miracle!
-the store I Like You.
-the sunny blue sky today. It's been awhile since I've seen that.
-a fun improv set.
-being present. I'm present to the fact that I'm in struggle. Woof. Today was really hard. I haven't had a day like this in awhile. It was one of those days that just started off right away on the wrong foot and I just wanted to stay curled up in my bed until the day was over. There was just a lot of challenging stuff. Hard emails, being shamed, more hard emails...ugh. Granted there were several moments of joy (i.e- lunch with Jen, delivering Christmas presents, fun show and improv) but I definitely felt myself very consciously making an effort to not shut away completely. But by the end of the day I was spent and extremely overwhelmed. Feeling things fully and leaning into discomfort really sucks in these moments. I'm relying on my bag of coping tools (which I'm incredibly grateful for) and reflecting on the good things that did happen today. Resilience is the word of the day!
-Amy calling me back and listening to my shit. As she would say, "this is the good shit!" I'm so thankful for her continual encouragement and support.
-the basics
-breathing
-as always, my friends.
