Today I appreciate:

• My cat, Cimmy, for relentlessly walking around on my lap, my desk, and my keyboard, purring. “Hello,” she seems to say, “You have a large, purring cat who adores you. Things can’t be too bad.” Thanks for the reminder, Cimmy!
• I also appreciate my little squishy froggy friend (one of the squishies I use for laughter yoga) who’s sitting on my desk, reminding me to laugh.
• I appreciate knowing that what’s going on is just a state of mind and that it won’t last forever, that all will be well.
• I also appreciate Kari’s gentle words of comfort and wisdom.
• Oh, and the fact that I get to work with people I truly adore. That’s pretty cool.
• Plus, a short but sweet text from Suzie.

Okay, things are already getting better. Breathe in, breathe out. Smile.
