The Secret to Making this a Great Day

Even if I believe I love unconditionally and then a loved one doesn’t do what I want.

Even if I’ve come to a place of forgiveness and find myself ripping up faded photos and setting them on fire.

Even if I finally speak my truth, willing to take the consequences, and then there are consequences.

Even if  everything finally makes sense, I’ve healed my original wound and fulfilled my life’s purpose and am bored to tears.

So what can redeem this day, regardless of what life brings my way?  Responding to the voice inside me telling me that I’m the only one who isn’t doing conscious aging right by having my first big laugh of the day.
