1 Across was the seed.  The idea behind it is that you open your mind to daily moments of peace, calm, amusement, wonder – whatever makes you feel gratitude.  It’s a simple yet effective attitude adjustment, blunting the effect of “triggers,” calming stress, and promoting happiness.  And the more I practice it, the easier it gets to recognize and assimilate these joyful moments.

I’ll give you an example: a couple of days ago, I was walking one of our dogs.  In itself, this is a source of 1 Across if I focus on him exploring the world instead of thinking about the things I have to do.  We passed a house where young kids were shrieking with delight while kicking a ball around the backyard.  I couldn’t see the kids, but the enchantment of their play wove a blanket of bliss that warmed me for hours.  Try, it, you’ll like it!

Oh yeah, like the title says, “Tank Yu” for solving  – and for putting up with my digressions!
