Gratitude

11/26/2023

Driving to work this morning and there it is. A tightness in my chest, a restlessness, all of my thoughts coalescing in a singular direction. I have a notion that if I am not careful I will not want to get out of bed tomorrow. I will wrap myself in the comforter, drink coffee with Alfred Hitchcock, and ponder all of he things I should be doing. Later I will lament everything I did not accomplish and my mood will be even more bleak...

As of this moment...sipping lavender tea, trying to find some work item that will focus my attention, and wondering why the ellipsis is such a preferable piece of punctuation.

It is good to recognize the cycle, now what to do with that recognition.
