Eager summer plans
I just read a short article in The Atlantic: What Monastic Mystics Got Right About Life
By Arthur C. Brooks which includes these affirmations I try to live by:
"1. I do not know what this day will bring, but I will live it the best I can, with an attitude of love and generosity.
2. I am grateful for the good I experience today, but I do not fear the bad, which is part of being alive and an opportunity for learning and growth.
3. I do not possess the absolute truth, but today I will seek it with honesty, an open heart, and a spirit of adventure."
I am softening my life by saying no to more things - and saving the yeses for my health, family, and friends.
So important, I’m trying to do the same!
