Quote heavy but sometimes the medium is the message, right? There are so many things I would love to write about right now, things involving perspective and time and casting away pain, but it’s just not the right arena. Suffice it to say that sometimes it’s hard to see struggling for what it is, or how hard it is, when you’re in it. And then you look back and think wow…that WAS pretty bad. And you’re glad to be out of that space.

Today I am grateful for patience, perspective, for things being better, for good people in my life, for moving ahead, for hope. For surrender.

Happy June / happy new month, new you.
