the importance of the pause

Today, I am grateful for the power of the pause. 

I am learning how to create healthy boundaries in relationships. People are not mind readers, it’s my responsibility to ask for what I need. 

I accomplished recognizing when I was trying to "fix" something, being honest with myself, knowing my opinion wasn't requested or needed, and staying quiet. 

I delighted in yoga with my community, in ai chi, in beers with a friend, in being reminded of my responsibility in relationships, in catching up with my lil sis, and in connecting with my person.
