Day 151 of #LiveWell2017

This has been a roller coaster of a month and a test of my mindfulness practice in a lot of ways. There have been moments of great joy and great sorrow, all a part of this messy, beautiful life we live. The sunny, spring weather has made hiking and biking more frequent and fun. Special friends and family members have blessed us with their visits. Suffering near and far – murders, hate speech, violence, political idiocy – weighed on my heart.

Each day was an opportunity to practice love, compassion, mindfulness, and kindness. Each day taught me something new about the world and about myself. I am grateful for all of it, the joy and the sorrow, and hope that those who are suffering most will find peace and feel love as they move forward.

Thanks for reading. I’m grateful for each one of you who stops in to visit this blog to read, comment, share, and grow with me.
