Five Things from Today (in no particular order)

1. I do not like being threatened. I especially do not like veiled threats.
2. Never assume the surprises are over. Likewise, don't assume you know the outcome of said surprises.
3. Watching an elephant paint it a pretty humbling and awe-inspiring thing. Not something I would have necessarily chosen to do left to my own devices... but a welcome moment of perspective nonetheless.
4. I must remember to practice gratitude.
5. The currently daily mantra: This too shall pass.
