Expecting perfection (from ourselves, each other) is not reasonable (I’m told). Expecting humility, honesty, presence, though, that seems like tablestakes. Chin up.

Let’s choose to see in each other first and most the good things — the strong and funny and brilliant and beautiful. Keep the best parts front and center; the rest can fill in around the edges. Chin up.

Once set into motion, some things have to happen. No amount of avoiding, strategizing, charming, or ignoring will prevent them. If we give up our illusions of control and let them happen, whatever is next can happen. Chin up.

We’re still in the messy middle, and we’re going to be here awhile. Nothing clever to say today. Keep going. Just keep going. Whatever that means, however that looks. Our hearts are big enough for this. Chin up.

At times, I’m confronted by the many ways in which I fail to show up as I should, fail to do all I can. This is scary and embarrassing and necessary. All of this to say: I’m sorry, I will try again, let’s not give up on me. Chin up.

What lights you up? We each have our hills to charge, windmills to tilt at, fires to stoke. We are all curious, weary, valiant heroes along our very own journeys. Fight onward. Chin up.

I hit a wall yesterday because of cruel policies, comparisons, questioning everything, too much time, not enough time, rudeness, sugar, things being broken, a splinter, motorcycle noises, and my own ridiculousness. But it’s a new day (a new month), and we’re back at it, chin up!
