These admonitions ring true to me this morning. While traveling yesterday, I felt an unusual deep sense of calmness. It was not a conscious action I took — it was a feeling of truly being in the moment, confident I could easily deal with any “upset condition.” Like when the fellow next to me on the flight to Anchorage spilled his drink on me. Or when I couldn’t figure out how to start my rental car. Or the “how much longer” thought as I got buttosis on the Anchorage flight.


It felt really good!!


It’s nearing 6 AM when the bistro opens. I am so freaking hungry right now!!


More later.
