If you’re open, losing can also shine a light on all that you have to be grateful for. You see, sometimes the darkness of life has a way of helping us notice the light in our lives.

gratitude and grief don’t have to be separated. it is possible to feel both at the same time. one doesn’t have to cancel the other out. In our binary world, we feel this pressure to force what first appears as opposites into separate corners. But I am finding that grief and gratitude are two sides to the same coin.

“You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on.”

— Mary Oliver; “Wild Geese”

long distance sucks really bad

learning how to trust again is really hard

newness is just as scary as it is exciting

how do I decide not to run?

“A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”

I want something else. I’m not even sure what to call it anymore except I know it feels roomy and it’s drenched in sunlight and it’s weightless and I know it’s not cheap. Probably not even real.

In March I’ll be rested, caught up and human.
