A Week of...

reminders to laugh at myself when i make mistakes

mix-ups that reveal i really am only human

humility to own a mix-up with a laugh and an apologetic smile

support in ways i didn't realized i needed

finding that my own skin can be as comfortable as an old pair of jeans
whose own worn spots and changes over time are the reason they fit so well where they are

learning what it's like not to try to keep the world spinning alone
because the heaviness will only steal all i've got as i worry
and it takes energy away from where it rightfully belongs
but sharing it is uplifting and freeing

the chance to take on new challenges
big and small

moments to pause to catch my breath
or to pause and have my breath taken away

learning. living. loving.
