Today was sort of a crazy day for many of us. Circumstances beyond our control have thrown a "disruptor" into our lives and we're left to figure out what to do next.
Lots of decisions to be made. Lots of worries to consider. Lots of fears to work through. And lots of courage to find.
These things happen. To all of us. More often than we want them to. Quite simply, that's life.
But here's what I know:
When there are lots of things that surround you that you cannot control, there is always one thing you can.
You control you.
You are in charge of your stress. You are aware of the chaos and wheel spinning it brings. If ever there was a time to eat right, workout regularly and sleep enough, this is it.
Give your body, your heart and your brain the gift of a healthy starting place. Take care of you.
The rest will work itself out.

This is one of my favorite quotations. Change "God" to "the Universe" if you wish. A quick web search attributes it to Mother Theresa, Sister Theresa and any other number of folks. The author is less important than the message:
May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.
