Day 4177: Peace of mind

Who’s looking for peace of mind? I am and I’m guessing I’m not alone.

I hope you find some peace of mind here.

.

If I were going to write to my late father on this Write to Your Father Day, I’d write, “Dear, Dad. I did a show of my original songs and I got a standing ovation! I think you would have been proud.” This is giving me peace of mind, here and now.

What’s also giving me peace of mind is that I can blog more easily on my new laptop. That means it will take less time for me to give you a piece of my mind every day.

Here‘s what I hear in my mind when I think about “peace of mind.”

.

Thanks to all those who contribute to my peace of mind, including YOU!

Day 1571: On this day

On this day, I am repeating something from yesterday’s post.

On this day, I am sharing flowers I saw yesterday.

On this day, I am grateful for spring and all that it brings.

On this day, I am driving to a seaside city to find out about a home I might put a bid on. I wonder if I will be successful in that venture.

On this day, I will be facilitating two therapy groups at work.

On this day, I wonder about the meaning of success.

On this day, I will have some Yogi Tea.

On this day, I will share some music here.

 

On this day, I express gratitude to all who help me create this daily blog and — of course! — to you.

So, if you were looking for good advice between January 1, 2013 and April 7, 2017, it might have been advisable to look elsewhere.
