Big emotions are exhausting.
I’m going to choose small ones today – like a small bit of happiness that the rain stopped, and the earth smells divine.
I’m not going to spend time grieving that the good earth is in her death throes.
I’m going to smile at the flowers hanging outside my kitchen window.
I’m going to brush my dog’s unruly fur, and enjoy that sensation, and feel gratitude that I can feel things physically and emotionally.
I’m going to eat a popsicle, and delight in it.
