But what if we could find better language than forced positivity to express our hopes and our anxieties? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eHave a Beautiful, Terrible Day!\u003c\/i\u003e is packed with bite-size reflections and action-oriented steps to help you get through the day, be it good, bad, or totally mediocre. This is a devotional for the rest of us--which is to say, the people who don't have magical lives that always work out for the best. As she composed these meditations during a season of chronic pain, Bowler understands how every day can be an obstacle course. She encourages us to develop our capacity to feel the breadth of our experiences. The better we are at identifying our highs and lows, the more resilient we become. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLike modern-day psalms, Bowler's spiritual reflections look for the ways we can expand our capacity for courage, love, and honesty--while discovering divine moments with God. With bonus sections to use during the seasons of Advent and Lent, this is an easy book to read along with other people too. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIf you want to build your daily habit of spiritual attentiveness, this book is here to say: \u003ci\u003eMay all your days be lovely.
