This is a short post.

Life is hectic right now because of the fires in Oregon and along the West Coast. Then there is snow in the midwest. Hurricanes in the South and Southeast too.

And of course making mistakes or feeling triggered because of stuff happening outside of my control. That’s how life goes sometimes.

But it doesn’t make me feel any less helpless when the obstacles show up and are outside of my control.

That’s when the inner strength and resilience come in to play. I may be feeling triggered because of my own mistakes and outside events or actions or experiences influencing my life. But I can still control my actions and reactions. Sometimes I do things on instinct; in the short term it gets me in trouble. In the long term, sometimes they set the foundation for a better outcome.

Right now, my goal is to stay safe and prepare for the possibilities while working and enjoying Gale.

I hope you all stay safe and healthy too. You have the same inner strength and resilience necessary to cope with the triggers and obstacles outside of your control too.

thanks for reading.
