I'm taking this journey one step at a time, doing things the best that I can with the skills and tools that I currently have at my disposal.  Today...  I will focus on positive energy, I will make sure that I do not let my mind fall into a state of negativity or self-criticism.

O how beautiful!  Witness the butterflies, sphynx moths, evening moths and tiny birds that are now dropping into your yard for a welcome respite.  Sound like an amazing experience?
