The advice I received a couple of months ago has proven remarkably durable and transportable. I've been in a really great mood lately but it's been dampened a little the past few days by a relationship not quite working out the way I had hoped.

But instead of getting all depressed and bitter, I'm following that advice. "Just be" has become my mantra and it works. (I should give myself a little more credit - the Matthew Shepard anniversary is always very emotionally charged for me and I'm usually more than a little down around this time.)

So I'm going to meditate on my mantra and share it with the world.

Just be.

Just be.

Just be.

Just be.

Just be.
