Feeling sad this Father’s Day amongst all the talk about dad jokes, dad wisdom, dad grillin’, dad love, etc. My dad has suffered from mental health afflictions his whole life, stemming from a rough childhood and a combat vet (the Vietnam war). (1/3)

A little meditation visual my brain came up with that made me chuckle: Whenever a to-do floats through my head while meditating, I picture a monk-like person holding a small basket. They say, “Please place that in here. You can pick it up on your way out.” Like collecting keys at a party. 😂❤️
