Gratitude Practice 2020 Day 170: Black Eyed Susan's and The Great Sacred Sifting

Today was….full. And I'm falling into bed overwhelmed and exhausted and DONE. I really felt the sacred sifting that is 2020 today. So much movement and unwanted and unexpected and unprecedented change. So many shocking surprises and outcomes and connections. So much sifting and sorting and discovering and realizing and reframing and re-evaluating. And today, I am tired. Just so much to sift through. Its beginning to feel relentless.

Grateful for the Pollyanna parts of me that are searching for the silver linings and I'm finding them more often than not.

The wiser part of my brain is grateful for this sometimes subtle but often jarring awakening that just keeps happening. Nothing bad about being stretched. Just nothing comfortable about it either.

The worried fretful parts of me thankfully understand the power of deep sleep and for the invention of sleep aids. Grateful to know that I'll be much more reasonable and rational in the am.

Grateful for this sacred sifting..lots of really awful parts and just as many good ones.

And I'm always grateful for Black Eyed Susan flowers... because they just make everything better
