I struggle to report on today out of fear of being callous to the greater world. Please know that I have spent a lot of time worried today. Our climate is a problem, the politicians around the world seem dedicated to mutual destruction, price gouging and other things are rampant.

However, in the minute of the day. In the precious moments and tiny details...today has been very wonderful.

A small accommodation was made to help me feel at ease in a location. It wasn't major, nothing too troubling I don't think, and the venue agreed. I was able to attend with a much higher level of enjoyment and "normal".

It's not that I travel through the world crashing and breaking into things. I don't lumber through the world like a hulking monster seeking shelter from the storms. I am able to carry conversation, watch movies, and do a great many things that everyone else does. However, I need to pivot slightly to enjoy myself fully. I was just super grateful for the experience.

The weather is humid and gross, the windows are closed and the breeze is a cold and shivery gale. But I was treated like a valuable member of society with needs that should be met. That isn't something that always happens and I wanted to remark on it .

@mentallyalex Yes, more of this, please, The World!

You're right. Being able to slow down and enjoy this exact moment and the beauty that It contains is a really important skill to cultivate right now.

It will be an important skill going forward as well, especially with all the horrors and worries and unexpected things that are going to come our way.

We must have a way to refresh and rejuvenate our minds so that we can face those things. It can't be all focusing on horrors all the time.

Let's take shifts, care for one another.

@sezduck I appreciate you Sezduck - thank you so much.

I thought so. We often hear terrible stories or tales of woe - so I thought it would be nice to hear about a good time!
