Thought

Awareness is observation without condemnation. Awareness brings understanding, because there is no condemnation or identification but silent observation. If want to understand something, I must observe, I must not criticize, I must not condemn, I must not pursue it as pleasure or avoid it as a non-pleasure. There must merely be the silent observation of a fact. There is no end in view but awareness of everything as it arises.

— Vernon Howard. Mystic Path to Cosmic Power.

The best way out is always through.

Gratitude Practice

Gratitude Jar: keep a jar with some scraps of paper and a pencil next to it. Three times a day, stop by the paper and jot down something you are grateful for and drop the paper in the jar. After a while you'll have a treasure trove of things you are grateful for.

Happy Monday,

Val
