Twitter and Blue Sky...

On this maybe stormy, rural Sunday morning, I've wandered over to Blue Sky...No...I'm not leaving Twitter, but I've decided to explore Blue Sky...

feel the pain but don't become its narrative...

Especially love the idea of feeling the pain, but not becoming its narrative.
Seeing and appreciating the never-ending pain of others often helps to put your personal passing pain in perspective...at a lower rank.
I focus on moving forward but being cautious. https://t.co/Axg1drOucZ
