Before you close your eyes tonight, do this.
Write down three things:
- One thing that went well today.
- One thing you are looking forward to tomorrow.
- One thing you are grateful for right now.
Research shows that a brief gratitude practice before sleep reduces pre-sleep cognitive arousal, lowers cortisol, and improves both sleep onset and sleep quality.
Your brain cannot be simultaneously anxious and grateful.
Give it something good to hold onto tonight. Two minutes. Pen and paper. Then sleep.
🚨WOW!!!

“WHY DOES LIFE HURT SO MUCH?”
A man asked the Buddha with eyes heavy with life.
The Buddha looked at him quietly—not to answer immediately, but to understand.
Then he said,
“You are holding on to things that are meant to pass.”
The man frowned. “Holding on to what?”
The Buddha gently pointed to a nearby river.
“Look at that water,” he said.
“Yesterday’s river is gone.
This moment’s river is already moving.
If you try to hold it in your hands… it slips away.
And yet, you suffer—not because the river flows,
but because you wish it would stay.”
The man was silent.
The Buddha continued—
“You cling to people…
expecting them to remain the same.
But people change, just like seasons.”
“You cling to moments…
wanting joy to last forever.
But even the most beautiful sunset fades into night.”
“You cling to expectations…
how life should be,
instead of seeing how it is.”
The man lowered his head.
“But why does it hurt so deeply?” he asked again.
The Buddha picked up a small pebble and held it tightly.
“If I hold this lightly,” he said,
“there is no pain.”
Then he clenched his fist hard.
“But if I grip it tightly… it begins to hurt.”
He looked at the man and said,
“The pain is not from the stone.
It is from the tightness of your grip.”
The man’s eyes softened.
“So what should I do?” he whispered.
The Buddha smiled.
“Learn to hold everything with an open hand.”
“Love people… but don’t try to own them.
Enjoy moments… but don’t demand they stay.
Have hopes… but don’t let them become chains.”
“Let things come.
Let things go.
And remain present with what is.”
The man sat there for a long time,
watching the river flow.
For the first time,
he didn’t try to stop it.
And in that moment—
a small, quiet peace found him.
Because peace begins
the moment you stop gripping
what is already gone.

@OwenBenjamin Who knows... wild guess and none of my biz... but....maybe they were talking about Britney Spears. She is 44 and has been in the news lately... folks at that dinner were def a group of mostly media folks... your guess is as good as mine!
We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.
