I read the most beautiful poem in LIFE IS A VERB by Patti Digh last night. I love this book - Patti has taken what could be a hackneyed subject--how would you live if you had 37 days left? - and made it sing through her deep heart and generously wonderful writing.

You are in a mood right now. What mood is it? Check in with yourself. Moods prime us for certain actions and not others. Resignation and resentment are moods that point us toward giving up, blaming, slumped shoulders and limited options. Gratitude is a mood that points us toward softening, opening our eyes wide, and beginning to wonder with curiosity and love what we can create to give back,....
