Here’s to my daily struggle to begin the day. My second cup of tea is in front of me. The sun is streaming through the windows. It is very beautiful in my sunroom in this moment. I am at ease. I failed to seed my onions and peppers yesterday. I will try again today. I am pleased that I and the world are not totally bleak and without hope. There are angels afoot whether we know/ believe it or not. They show up unexpectedly and in various disguises. I’m onto them now because I feel a spark in their presence.

While our world is not such a great place now, it is all we got. It’s up to us to make it better. I cannot control what others do, but I have control of what I do. It’s not for me to judge. It’s for me to do better. What can I do better today? Here’s a video that might be useful.

I will start small and try to add on. I hope my angels are watching and lend me a helping hand.

• Find ways to curb ruminating on the past
• Move more, resume my qigong practice
• throw out 3 useless things
