Happiness & Harmony

Today I'm grateful because I got the sweetest tweet this afternoon, from a counselor in Indiana. Look at her super  silhouette:

And as delighted as I am at her thoughtfulness,

I'm really energized that she is getting ready for next year already.

Isn't that inspirational?

We're not even at the end of this school year yet,

and many of us are exhausted,

tuckered out,

spent.

But not Ms. Kozuch.

Or maybe she is.

{She has to be, right?}

But instead of staying in PJs all day and watching the Hallmark Channel (like I did),

she's planning, embracing, doing. For next year.

Forward thinking.

I admire that in a role model. 

It inspires me. 

It makes me happy.

True confessions:

Things have not felt very harmonious in my heart lately;

in fact, it has been chaotic, messy, painful.

But with every tweet, text, email, and call of support,

I feel like I'm turning a corner

and finding myself again.

What I'm learning in the process of change is how much I value 

the loving kindness and care of friends and family near and far,

not only when things are working in concert with ease, 

but also in times of discord and dissonance.

That's when thought, word & deed harmonize for me. 

It's a formula for happiness.

And a chance to feel hopeful again.

Cape up ... a new school year is just around the corner!
