Some days it seems like nothing proceeds as we had imagined it and everything is conspiring to thwart our plans. Today is one of those days. So how do you practice when your kids wake up too early, your wife had been called away to work on the middle of the night and you are in charge of the morning routine and drop off?
The easy answer is to be mindful of course but what that looks like in the fray is what I’m trying to figure out. Mindfulness of irritation, of stress, of screaming kids? Yes, I suppose that’s it add then compassion for all of it. Honestly that’s the best I’ve got this morning but I think it is good enough.
