It’s all a process. I’ve heard it before, and it’s important to continue to remind myself of this truth.

Life is a process. It’s not a suddenly wake up one day and be happy sort of a situation. It’s a wow, I feel great this morning why is that and I should pay attention to it sort of a situation.

Take this morning, for example. I am sitting out here on the porch. I’ve had my 15 minutes of meditation, and I’m listening to the birds, and the breeze feels really good and sort of cool.

And in the distance I can hear the cars whizzing by, but it’s more like a white noise, so it’s relaxing. Back here, on the second floor deck surrounded by treetops and chirping birds, the morning is slow. The morning is pleasant. The morning is a beautiful sign for what’s to come today.
