Hello, beloved reader.
This is, by far, one of the most important to-do lists I've ever made. It seems like all the other things will fall into place if I manage this one thing—being present—which sounds so simple, but in reality it is extremely challenging because our minds tend to wander.
The weather was beautiful today. I tried to be present. I tried not to get saddened by the past, and I tried not to get anxious about the future. I looked at the rain, the sky, the trees, and the way the raindrops bounced on the windowsill. While I paid attention to the world around me, I could better understand the world within me, and I felt a sense of calm envelop me.
Thank you for reading.
