Since becoming part of Hospice, and facing the fact that my death will be sooner rather than later, I have learned there was no point to a lot of the things I worried about. I can't change what is happening. I can't persuade anyone of anything. All I can do is find my own center and be patient. I am not anxious. I am not worried. I just am. I love these pictorial essays....I find many truths in them.

Exactly. Don’t try to force a balance. The human mind seems sometimes to be too impatient and too limited in its scope. If we let nature take its course we usually find that we can achieve balance easie.

Love this. Balance does seem to be a self-solving puzzle that presents as a trickster, needing much attention and fretting...

Sometimes it helps to think of myself as a sailboat with a 20,000-pound keel... that way if I get tossed about on some stormy part of life, I always find a way to self-right.

Then, there's also the notion from physics... that the universe abhors a vacuum... and always finds a way to self-equalize by filling things back in.

So relatable! 2023 was all about feeling out of balance and pulled in lots of directions. How has that served me? Feeling like I’m always falling short. How am I going to show up differently 2024? Focus on 3 things a day and let the rest go! Be present, be happy. See the good - not the lack! ✨
