Calm within the storm

Today I feel like a storm has suddenly come upon me and surrounded me. I thought my day would be clear for slowly getting things done, but instead I find myself jumping from one unexpected thing to the next. And yet I remain calm within the storm.

I think it has helped that I've been doing meditation each morning. I decided to use Headspace and subscribed to that. I'm glad that I've been consistent this week in going through the sessions each morning. It has trained me to look at the thoughts going by with a perspective of distance and curiosity. The clouds drift by in the blue sky. A storm may approach, but I stay calm and remember that there is still blue sky high above.

I have so much to do, so I must remain calm. Tackle the problems one at a time. Deal with all the messages without letting them overcome my emotions.

I have one particular friend who I've decided to approach now. I am not sure how I feel or how I'll respond, but I pray for the best...
