Heading into the last hours of 2021, I find it fitting that it's Friday-- Forgiveness Friday here, and for those following at home.
These last two years have been especially difficult, and it has been extra easy to fall into the habit of feeling like you're falling behind or failing somehow, even as everything kind of falls apart or comes to a stand still around us.
So, let's take a minute to take a few deep breaths, and let all of that go. Whatever little mistakes you think you've made this year, whatever supposed failures you're carrying around-- things you've said or not, things you meant to do but didn't, all of it -- let it go.
In the new year, you can try to adjust any of the things that you truly think will improve your well being, or you can choose to move forward with kindness and understanding for yourself, knowing that little missteps make you human.
You are worthy of kindness and understanding, especially from yourself.
