Dear Friends:
If I may suggest...
Today
take a long walk
preferably at your favorite
park, beach, or mountain trail
and assuage your grief
by practicing gratitude
for the privilege of being able
to surround yourself
with the beauty of nature
whenever you need her.
Tonight
go to your favorite
quiet spot in your home
take out your journal and write down
all your thoughts and feelings
sign and date the passage
and close the book.
Tomorrow
embrace the new day
pour your morning drink
and start making plans
to shape your future
so this never happens again.
You’ve got four years.
