As we settle into fall and and race toward the end of the year, don’t fret over what you haven’t yet checked off your list of goals; be grateful for what you have managed to achieve, and more importantly, for how you’ve grown.
Assess how you’ve nurtured, cared for, loved or mentored others, and give thanks for those who have poured some measure of tenderness and time into you.
Lean into all that fall holds and don’t stop striving. Stay the course in becoming.
Cherish those who cherish you, yet love everyone unconditionally.
Generously support and serve others, yet set boundaries to protect your self-care.
Forgive and forge ahead. Laugh and lighten up.
Dance or walk in the rain. Take chances and embrace joy.
Appreciate each day and embrace the lessons that this season, and previous ones, have offered.
Make peace with your present. Set new goals and arch toward new moutains.
Whatever you do, don’t dim your shine. As someone once said, keep being the light you are and others’ eyes will adjust.
You, me – we – are imperfectly human. But we’re here! And as long as we have breath, we’re meant to stay the course.
