Thanks for an authentically encouraging post, Diamond-Michael.

And I can so relate to this statement:

“You don’t have to figure it all out today. Just breathe. Drift. Do one tiny true thing. The rest can wait.”

Sometimes I just do one or two -- or maybe three -- true things in an unhurried manner. And eventually it all gets done.

In the process, self care trumps all, and I do what I have the energy to do.

Lots of demands on my time and energy these days, and that's how I'm getting through it.

I don’t really have any words, just how your words resonate. I live for that experience in my work as a therapist. You remind me of some words I love that I’ve never forgotten —it’s not about fixing the broken places, it’s the discovery of the unbroken. Thank you, as always.

I sat and thought of how I might reply to this, and watched the palm fronds bending westward and the high speckled clouds flowing eastward and then I sat and didn't think but simply watched. So, thanks.
