grace

"you settle in. these kids, this husband, this little life you're building...you say amen.

you are slower to tell everyone how wrong they are and quicker to gather your folks and breathe gratitude.

this is your place. these are your people. this is your beautiful, precious life.

probably about halfway done here on earth, you lay down angst and pick up contentment.

so sure, your body and mind get whack, but i promise you this:

you wouldn't return to your twenties for all the unwrinkled skin on the planet.

you like it here. 

you love better, stand taller, laugh louder.

you'll pass out grace like candy.

real life will temper your arrogance and fear, you will adore the next version of yourself.

we all will."

(jen hatmaker)

hello october, good to meet you.

happy weekend peeps.

may it bring you the chance to pass out some grace.

to others and to yourself.
