I'm sitting here...sad all day and trying to keep focus in the now. Reading and stopping and being quiet. This one day I've learned so much about myself. I'm overwhelmed with my feelings. Silly thing is, I was feeling bummed out that a "guy" didn't call me. That's not it...silly me. I was saying such bad things about myself. I thought I need to listen to myself and be kind to me. Then I read this. Yes, this moment is sad and soon it will be gone.

So much insight! Yes, kindness toward yourself, especially as you begin to stay quiet and peek into those closed-off and guarded places. There is a sweet, tender one in there just itching to come out. I can feel it.
