Being Grateful

In my search for self-improvement, I am focusing on gratitude.  I'm also teaching a GATE class on poetry in April and my students' excitement is encouraging me to get back into writing poetry.  Besides, April is National Poetry Month so I plan to write a lot of poetry in April.  

I guess I'm getting a head start!

Small Changes

Small changes are easier to make into permanent changes.  This month, I'm adding a daily meditation.  First thing in the morning, I start the coffee maker (if it wasn't set up the night before) and go meditate for 10 minutes.  

I'm using an app to help me get started.  I tried several and am sticking with Calm.   It's a great start to the day.  

Last week and this week, I've been having pain in my neck and shoulders from stress.  Today, after meditating, I noticed that there is very little pain.  How's that for a reward for doing the work?  

Keep Calm and . . .
