Furrowed whiskers low

Dreams of mice and cream swirl round

Soft purrs fill the air

The older you get, the more you choose calm over chaos and distance over disrespect. Drama becomes intolerable to you and your peace becomes your ultimate priority. You start surrounding yourself with people who are good for your mental health, heart and soul.

Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.

Cool Jazz is my favorite music genre, and Vince Guaraldi knows how to set a mood.

Trying to remind myself that this is temporary. These concerns & uncertainty about the future are not permanent fixtures in my life. The sun will rise tomorrow.
