You are enough.

Even when you didn't do more.

Even when there's more to do right now.

Yesterday, while driving around my hometown and crying to a sad song, I asked myself how I might choose to be thankful too.

Not in a way that bypasses or covers over the pain, but right up next to it.

It was a perfect day full of joy, connection, movement, and above all... AWE.

Part of me couldn't believe I was really there that day.

Part of me STILL doesn't.

When I'm back in my hometown, I often think about what I thought my life would be like at 41 and what it actually is.
