Sleep that feels good.

Write this date down, August 27, 2020.  

It was the day that I woke up and smiled.  

And not just any smile.  

As my eyes opened, a smile came across my face.  

I can remember feeling contented, open-minded, and rested.  

What did I do the night before?

I journaled, I read "Meditations," I reminded myself what I accomplished, and I created an intention of "sleep."  

I also remind myself of this statement.  

• With all that's going on in the world - good or bad - we can only do what we can to move through with equanimity.  

• No one can breathe for us.

• No one can move for us.  

• No one can act for us.  

• We are in control of only what we can do.  

And that's calming.
