" 'Things close in,' said Walter Mitty vaguely." In this blog I consider topics of close-in importance to me. And ponder how things do manage to close in. When I feel like it.

Do you mind if I co-opt the following list items? They're a great "anthem" or mantra for this point in our lives.
1. Let go of grudges. Especially, those against people who don’t even know I’m holding them.
2. Write. Often. Get better at it.
3. Forgive myself, every day.
4. Breathe.
5. Choose to be peaceful, kind, and loving. Repeat as necessary.
They're getting posted (right next to some affirmations I've received) on my mirror so I can read them each day and internalize them. Thank you . . .
