Sometimes we don’t even give them a thought and can’t remember them a few seconds later.With our thoughts and emotions so wrapped up in what is happening in the world right now, it is easy to dwell on the negative aspects of life. It is simple to fall down the rabbit hole of watching the news and getting sucked into the feeling of hopelessness that is projected at you every single minute of every single day. I will go as far as to say that it is human nature to do so.The purpose of today’s show, however, is to try to have you feel what I am calling the “softness” in your day. The “softness”, opposed to the “roughness” of the negative vibes that are being thrown around right now, are things that we tend to take for granted and overlook at times.
