What comforts us is that, after we make ourselves crazy enough, we can let go inch by inch into just being here; every so often, briefly. There is flow everywhere in nature — glaciers are just rivers that are moving really, really slowly — so how could there not be flow in each of us? Or at least in most of us? When we detach or are detached by tragedy or choice from the tendrils of identity, unexpected elements feed us. There is weird food in the flow, like the wiggly bits that birds watch for in tidal channels. Protein and greens are obvious food, but so is buoyancy, when we don’t feel as mired in the silt of despair. - Anne Lamott
Choose to be optimistic, it feels better. - Dalai Lama XIV
It is important to expect nothing, to take every experience, including the negative ones, as merely steps on the path, and to proceed. - Ram Dass.
Be a lamp to yourself. Be your own confidence. Hold on to the truth within yourself as to the only truth. - Buddha
Often we need humor to lighten and enlighten our day.
Discover situations that make you smile.
As you look at the lighter side of things, humor keeps stress at bay.
Cavort with Comfort.
