After writing yesterday's post, however, it appears my next step is to admit:
I. Have. A. Book. Problem.
And I need to do something about it.
Now.
Well, not "now" as in immediately. If this is going to happen gently, it's going to have to happen over the upcoming days.

I feel places opening up in my heart.
Calm places.
For peace.
For joy.
Changes to my plans don't blind-side me.
I feel places opening up in my heart.
Calm places.
For peace.
For joy.
For hope.
