REMEMBER
fragrance of roses
colors of sunset and sunrise
cactus spines, thin and thick, hurt
sound of rain, pounding on the roof
start and end days by thanking the universe
for _________ (can be one or many things)
vinegar has many uses
(cleans, deodorizes, disinfects, pickles, alleviates sunburn sting)
choose reading and/or writing over cleaning
(always, always, always)
controlling your breath controls your body and emotions
(shoulders back, fill your lungs, and COUNT)
baby steps take you further than sweeping resolutions
(babies fall, get back up, start again, on repeat)
keep an aloe plant alive and nearby
(for emergencies)

reminds me of Polonius’s advice to Laertes on going back to school–but “choose reading and/or writing over cleaning” marks it as advice for a woman from a woman
Love all the wonderful images and actions in glorious tandem.
