Short of this, I want to live here and now, not simply suppressing reality but engaging with it and not feeling overwhelmed by it.
I think one important key to being able to do this is by being thankful. Too often I look past beauty and kindness and goodness all around me, and choose to see that which annoys me, or takes from me, or which is complicated. I don't want to just mindlessly speak thankful words in the hope that by some magical process of neurolinguistic programming I become a more grateful human being; I want to peel back the complicated layers of living and grasp all the good, simple, beautiful things that there are. That I have.
Simple things for which I am thankful...
