growth necessitates risk

Today, I am grateful for my growing comfort with discomfort. 

I am learning how to ask myself what the facts are, and then assess whether my words will be necessary or kind before speaking up. 

I accomplished allowing another’s opinion to be. And, verbally reaffirming I no longer need the validation of others. 

I delighted in celebrating a friend, in showing people I love the new home I’ve created, and in my dog making space for two other pups for the weekend.
