Today is our golden retriever’s 3rd birthday. She brings such unconditional love to our little family. She does not judge. She does not ask for more than we can offer (well…usually.) She just is, in all her sweetness, an energy giver. The embodiment of hope.
This year, I am hyper-focused on nurturing the good things in the world as well as how we can support each other. Community is so important. Creating new opportunities and caring for those in my circle and beyond. According to Merriam-Webster, taking it one day at a time means, “to deal with each day's problems as they come instead of worrying about the future.“ The phrase is commonly used as advice when someone is thinking too far ahead or expecting issues or change overnight. Sometimes things come at us at an insane pace - and we can’t hide our heads in the sand. We just have to breathe and reboot. And then we make the decisions that lead us forward. This is where I choose to exist for now.
Happiest Birthday to our sweet Elysees…we love you!
"We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope."
