Mindset: mildly melancholy. It happens. Thoughts turn to uncertainty;the transition of my kids into their own lives, my mom's leukemia, my own financial future - it can all be rather daunting individually let alone taken in in whole. Yet as timely as these things can be, today's morning meditations had an influence on relative impermanence and interconnection of life and lives. It simply is what it simply is. Does that give me solace? Yes. Does it resolve the underlying angst. Not quite. But as Lauren and I were discussing the other day, referencing a stoic quote, arguing for what is not is done just outside of reality.
Goals: Focus on some errands and home tasks.
