A subtle rising moon marks the end of this day.

What did I learn today?

In vacation mode, I am not trying to learn but what I noticed today is just how hard it is to let go of worry and tension. I notice with some astonishment how many of my dreams are filled with anxiety and worry about things to be done. I wonder about why that is and rather than trying to find an answer, I pause to take a breath and acknowledge the stress that I carry with me, acknowledge the unwinding process, and try to give myself permission to be however I am.

With every day I learn more about how to be as I am.
