It’s pretty warm today and I’m grateful to be able to sit outside in my Adirondack chair with a cup of coffee as the sun warms my face.

I spoke with my therapist about my struggles over the past few weeks this morning and I’m grateful for her reminder to be easy with myself.

Smiles. I’m grateful for smiles. It’s amazing that even if we don’t feel all that happy, just making our faces form a smile fills us with sensations of joy. This is nature protecting us.
