I woke up so sick today. Head spinning and throat aching. But the clear blue sky still put me in a good mood.

Notice these things, they make a difference in your day. A very close friend of mine went to prison for six months because of a stupid choice. Upon getting out, he told me that what he missed the most was being able to go outside when he wanted to. Something as simple as walking out your front door and stopping for a minute yields so much that we take for granted.

Thanks for the reminder.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
