Avoid historic elections and the aftermath! Unfortunately that was not possible this week. I do have usual strategies. I try to begin my day with a breathing exercise, drink water and then have a quiet time where I read devotional/meditative materials either in book form or things I subscribe to online. That helps to set the tone for the day. AA has a number of slogans that I find helpful, such as “Let Go and Let God,” “This too shall pass” and One Day at a Time.” They may seem trite, but it does help keep things in perspective, especially only living one day at a time. Worrying about tomorrow is something I can do well. This helps me let go of the future a lot of the time and just focus on what I can do today. I try to walk every day. It is very helpful if I can walk outside like I did today and go to the Keystone Ancient Forest where I see a 500 year old tree. If it can last, so can I. The walks tax my body and keeps my mind off of other things. It gives me a great feeling. I also took time to go see the John Hope Franklin Reconciliation Center to see the spectacular colors. Something like that really takes my mind off of me. I can't forget connecting with supportive friends so I know I am not in this alone. That is so important. I am blessed to have such great and compatible friends! --Carolyn
