TODAY'S TOUCHSTONE

"When you feel sad, it's okay. It's not the end of the world. Everyone has those days when you doubt yourself, and when you feel like everything you do sucks, but then there's those days when you feel like Superman. It's just the balance of the world." 
                 
                                  ~ Mac Miller   

It took me longer than usual to find a quote for this day's touchstone. 

I'm sensing someone out there saying, "And this is the best you could find?"

And I'm smiling because a part of me is asking that question too. But, you would not believe how many quotes I tried and discarded because, while they matched with my beliefs, they didn't resonate in my body. 

I want to be real. And the truth is, as I prepare this one, I'm feeling a little numb - tired from the moving process, unsettled, excited about our new house yet grieving for some things we are leaving behind... and more.

And it is all good. It is life.  

Perhaps you'll feel like Superman or Superwoman today. Perhaps I will too. Whatever we feel, whatever we experience, let's embrace this day with compassion for ourselves, with gratitude for life, and reverence for all. 

Namaste,
Charlene
