A Meditation Of Sorts

After reading the newspaper or catching a bit of the news on tv or a quick scroll through twitter, I find I need to take a few minutes (or many) to just clear my head. Ever the optimist, even I have my moments. So I take a little trip. I visualize a place that has brought me joy. Quite often it is Hawthorne. Or it could be combing the flea markets in Paris. Or roaming around Florence collecting our picnic provisions for our lunch. While travel is not in the cards at the moment, it certainly can be in our minds. Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and soar. No airline ticket required. While I am certainly not putting my head in the sand in regards to what is going on and what is needed of us to create change, we also need to stay refreshed and positive. Take yourself to your happy place…
