I do know it's crazy, but I get a day like today, where my only obligation is to myself, and I can just putter around my house, making pancakes and doing laundry and stuff, and I find my center again. I have such a good life. I get in this total zone where everything is beautiful.

Silly example: I was filling the pitcher to add the rinse water to my laundry tub, and I was just overcome by how lucky I am that I can afford to just run gallons of water out of a tap in my kitchen -- hell, I could even just pour a gallon down the drain if I want, not that I want to -- and there are so many people in the world for whom just a cup of clean water, clean enough to drink, would feel like a miracle.

Y'know?

Exactly!

I'm a lucky, lucky girl.

It can be hard to remember, in times of stress, just how lucky we are to have the things we have, the things we can so easily take for granted. But yes, it is a beautiful feeling when you can remember that. It's not crazy at all -- sometimes it's what keeps us from going crazy when we hit a rough patch.
