The

The So recently, I fell into a keeping up with the Jones's moment.

If you've never heard that phrase, it's when you are comparing yourself with those around you

and trying to match or

exceed where they are or what they have. I have lived enough life to know that we are all on a

unique path and comparison is unhelpful at best, damaging at worst. But every once in a while,

I feel like, wait, should my life look like theirs?

I think this is a very common feeling, but as you may have heard, comparison is the thief of joy.

Whenever I find myself comparing myself to others or just generally feeling like I'm not where I should be,

I've been saying to myself, what if I'm exactly where I'm

supposed to be? This is a particularly helpful thing to say right before going to sleep.

Billy and I have been saying this to each other at night, and it's such a positive, hopeful,

soothing thought to end your day with. I know sometimes it may seem impossible

to be where you're supposed to be. What if life looks nothing like you want it to? But the truth is,

we can't be anywhere other than here. And here is also the only place from which we can make new choices and decisions.

In times of illness or grief, sometimes just being here, making it from one moment to the next

is exactly what we should do, even if we don't always know why. Tonight, we are going to let go of comparison

and just revel in being in this moment,

which is exactly where we're supposed to be.

My name is Sherlock Holmes.

It's an unusual name.
