Listen up. Show up. Speak up. Hearts out. Chin up.

To paraphrase someone smart: we’ve got to get the question right. There are big and little questions, and sometimes it’s confusing which is which. Sometimes we have to answer the now questions before we can get to the next question. Point is, what are we asking? Chin up.

Sometimes, when we have an idea, we just have to run with it. Sure, it might be a terrible mistake that will haunt us (chances are slim), but the enthusiasm, the risk, the possibility are worth it. Go forth, try. Chin up.

My life is infinitely better when I fill my heart with people who do hard things, create beauty, care a lot, say wow a lot, smile generously, risk looking ridiculous, and try to put words to the moment. (Luckily, when I look for them, they’re everywhere.) Chin up.

Isn’t it amazing that in the same day someone can ask me the very question I most don’t want to answer and two hours later someone else can say exactly the thing I didn’t know I needed to hear? I’m over here just reeling from the wisdom of the universe. Chin up.

My world has shrunk a bit lately. I’m okay with it being just small enough for me to get my arms around, for me to carry inside my heart. (Could do with more hugs.) Chin up.

It’s okay, some days, to have nothing to say. Chin up.

A morning assessment. More: patience, humility, creativity, vegetables, focus. Less: snacking, sitting, procrastinating, swearing. Just right: Morning tweets, Springsteen listening, mixing my nouns and verbs and being totally okay with it. Chin up.

There are times to back away from fear and times to move into it. Struggles that are meant to be worked through and those that are unwinnable by sweat or will. Truths that need to be heard and things that shouldn’t be said. Seems to me, discernment is the biggest thing. Chin up.
