Once when sharing my frustration over grumpy feelings, a friend gifted me the phrase, “It’s a mood. It will pass.”

Every time I remember that, the mood seems to sense I’m on to it and starts packing its bags.

Love your poem Julie. Glad 3 has been restored to 4!!!

Thank you for sharing this wisdom here Gail. I love this..."It's a mood, it will pass." It's so true. Thank you Gail. I'm so happy to know you.

A delight! I like how you turned “impermanence” upside down, from its usual association with a negative outcome to one of a celebration of being present. You must have had a great run before penning this. Cheers to the entire Hughes family!

This was a breakthrough in my pain recovery as well! :) Pain is not fixed...it changes every day. This idea helped me move forward. Thank you Gary for being here and yes I did have an hour run before I wrote this. It really helps my creativity. :)

Sounds like I better watch “Breaking Bad one day and even the prequel?

I am no quantum physicist, but Heisenberg makes me feel since uncertainty is inherent in the quantum field, anything is possible. Yes, why not miracles. I think Einstein said we can choose to look at life as if everything is a miracle or nothing is... He chose the former. I agree.

I agree too! What a better way to look at life...so many miracles all around us. Thank you Clark. I don't watch much TV but I will say this series was hard to not watch...kept me on the edge of my seat.

Thank you so much Clark. And when I see Heisenberg's name I think of the show Breaking Bad. HA!

I hope your morning is off to a great start.
