karma

today, a very good friend of mine told me that when bad things are happening, you can think of it as your karma getting cleaned out. i thought that was a good way to look at it. even while i'm sitting here holding back a geyser of tears wishing that there wasn't so much pain in the world and in my and b's world.
 
these things that make me feel better when i'm sad:

1. taking walks outside with b
2. laying in bed with b
3. hugging our dog
4. listening to great music

i'm going to do a bunch of those things today. and i'm going to remember that everyone gets their karma cleansed sometimes.
