Day 353: Russet potato, purple cabbage, broccoli, carrots, oyster mushrooms sautéed in ghee with a soft boiled egg. A little too soft but thats what you get when you don’t set a timer. Always set a timer. Just like you should always write things down - you will not remember.
If there were ever a theme for a year… yeah letting go is a constant in life but this year came with a heavy dose of it. People we loved, jobs that provided and even the rhythm of life it’s self. Yesterday I lost something that helped get me through so many of those losses. Someone stole my bike from outside of my house. It was disappointing but as I started to think about how it was locked up and how it must have been the middle of the day and yadda yadda yadda - I just had to stop myself and laugh. Remind myself that I don’t control shit outside of myself and that I am wildly grateful that I the bike when I needed it most. It made me think of this quote by Jackson Kiddard - who is kind of a mystery - which I am into - but clearly he was very wise.
““Anything that annoys you is for teaching you patience.
Anyone who abandons you is for
teaching you how to stand up
on your own two feet.
Anything that angers you is for
teaching you forgiveness and compassion.
Anything that has power over you is for teaching you how to
take your power back.
Anything you hate is for
teaching you unconditional love.
Anything you fear is for
teaching you courage
to overcome your fear.
Anything you can’t control is for teaching you how to let go
and trust the Universe” ”
