Dear Friends,

Don’t let anyone – including that little voice in your head – tell you that your life should be any different than it is. Of course your life isn’t perfect, and there are many things you want that you don’t have, but that is true for everyone. The way out of feeling bad is not to mull on what you lack, but rather to revel in the bounty of your life – all you have to share, to give, to learn, to experience . . .

I found the above written on a tiny notecard shoved into the back of my wallet. It was faded and dated from nine years ago. I suppose I needed to remind myself of these things. ❤️
