Good morning. It is said, when one door closes, another opens. It’s tricky business, though. It might take a long time and a lot of work to find the second door. It might not even look like a door. There are thresholds to cross, all around us. Step with purpose. Chin up.

Good morning. Today is a day for sorting. This I can control; this I can’t. I will hold on here; I will let go there. These things are worth the time, the calories, the investment, the consequences; these things aren’t. May we make good choices. Chin up.

Good morning, Thanksgiving. Giving thanks, starting with you. I am grateful for your companionship, for the things you teach me, for the ways you make our world better. Chin up.

Good morning. Here’s to those who hang in there for uncomfortable conversations when it’d be easier to withdraw. The words may not come perfectly, the feelings may be messy, but presence is a really good place to start. Bravery in relationship is its own special kind. Chin up.

Good morning to those who are generous in your endorsements, compliments, connections, likes, recognitions, and thank yous. Life is a lot, so let’s not hoard appreciation. Chin up.

Good morning! 2020 is impatiently creeping closer. December is crunch time for resolutions. I’m hereby convening a support group for those of us who fell a bit behind this year. It’s time to take on that thing. (Yeah, that one.) (I know.) We believe. Chin up.

Good morning. Somewhere, the sun is shining. Not here, not today, not yet. But we’ll be ready. In the meantime: I’ll be self-soothing with sweatpants and hot chocolate and waiting for this damp, drizzly November in my soul to pass. Chin up.

Good morning to everyone who has mastered the critical life skills — like passing on the second cookie, remembering names, keeping your humor when you need to reset your password yet again, maintaining an adult-like inventory of toothpaste. The rest of us, keep striving. Chin up.

Good morning. Words! Words can make our hearts swell, race, sing, skip, ache. Choose carefully, use generously. You all have outdone yourself with the words this week. More poetry to accompany us through today, please. Chin up.

Good morning. It’s a brand new day. Break it wide open. Tear through the wrapping. Bounce it against the wall. Dance with what the day brings us. Throw it up in the air to see how it lands. Climb atop something and proclaim the wonder that will be this day. Go at it. Chin up.
