humble confidence

Today, I am grateful for access to healthy pre-made food.  Access to food, period, is a gift.  And, as I prepare for the week ahead, I pause to acknowledge how truly blessed I am.  I am anticipating a fast-paced week, and in an effort (one step forward) to take better care of myself, I am intentionally removing unnecessary stress by ensuring I have healthy prepared meals at the ready.  

I am learning how to humbly believe in my awesomeness.  I am great.  That does not equate to me being better than anyone else.  We are all unique and that's what makes us beautiful.  I am also learning that I have better days when I give others grace, when I remember we are all doing the best we can with what we have been given. 

I accomplished balancing adulting, with play, creativity, and relaxation.  

I delighted in petting a friendly dog while waiting in line for food, in friendly banter with a lovely human who took my order, in running into two people I love on a walk with the pup, and in witnessing an elderly couple exchange a tender kiss.
