Days behind, without intending to be. Somehow the holiday weekend got away from me between returning to clinical service and having a lovely visit from my Dad.
Back to that reverb10 project I was working on, with some new catch-up to do.
Everything’s OK What was the best moment that could serve as proof that everything is going to be alright? And how will you incorporate that discovery into the year ahead?
It's tough for me to isolate a single moment that's been that ultimate "YES!" moment when I know everything will be okay. For me it's more of a progressive experience of listening to my heart when it starts feeling a sense of calm that then blooms over days or weeks.
I've learned that when I start having that pit-of-the-stomach sense of fear, when I feel overwhelmed, that I must actively seek those things that comfort me and help the counteracting sense of calm to prevail. THAT is what I'll incorporate in the coming year. The times of fear just aren't worth it ultimately.
Ordinary Joy Our most profound joy is often experienced during ordinary moments. What was one of your most joyful ordinary moments this year?
The moment that I most want to hang onto from this year was sitting at brunch in Sunnyside, Queens, on a July Sunday morning. The table was filled with one of my dearest friends (of 24 years now!), his wife, their amazing 2-year-old son, and the younger brother of the dear friend. It was a beautiful reminder of the fact that certain people always are a part of our core selves in spite of time, distance, and everything else. It was also a nice refresher that love really does conquer many, many things.
