1. No longer asking my pain to disappear in order to be welcomed.
2. Existing in spaces that encourage me to fully show up as my true self. That includes my flaws, hard feelings, joy, trauma, and pain.
3. After a long period of hypervigilance, I am finally able to appreciate stillness. I am so grateful for that.
People who have not been chronically on guard often do not even notice stillness, let alone thank it.

1. I'm becoming more aware of the stories my mind likes to make up. Not reacting with anger.
2. I’m grateful that I’m not giving up on connection, even though it’s still hard for me to connect with people who think differently than I do.
3. Through this practice I am focused on growth, progress, healing, vulnerability, values, and love. Letting go of ego and performance.

Snow began about 1pm, with slippery roads, poor visibility. Visitors at the zoo pretty much nil. So my boss sent me home early, before the snow got worse. Nice and warm and cozy at home. Snow plows began rumbling around the neighborhood streets about a half-hour ago (5pm). I was warming up yesterday's holiday leftovers for supper when I heard noises in my own driveway. Peeked out the door, and found a young neighbor with a snowblower clearing my drive for me! Called out a grateful thanks, and ducked back inside to eat supper.
So there are my Three Good Things for today!
1. Kind boss shooing me home early, with her promise that I won't lose any pay by it.
2. Kind neighbor remembering his older neighbor and clearing my snow for me.
3. Brian's son sending me home with plentiful yummy leftovers yesterday.

1. Loving this phrase,
"I am a vessel through which care flows."
I don't see it as an affirmation. But a truth I want to embody.
2. For this quote from the book Mindful by Nature. Written by Tim Drake and Jason Hamilton. "There is no place where you stop and nature begins."
3. I had the sweetest dream with someone I am trying to get along with. I had this dream after I read a bit of this book titled How to Work with Angels by Elizabeth Clare Prophet.
