My day began slowly today. I got up late, decided to skip going to the trails, and went for a short walk in my neighborhood. Due to work meetings, I had to shift my normal morning routine. For example, I am writing this post at 2 pm PST— when I prefer to write earlier in the day. I haven’t done yoga or finished my work. (Two projects are due today.) And yet…and yet…I’m cool as the underside of the pillow. It’s unusual. I’m typically in a frantic rush to appease all the voices. But not today, not right now.

Slow and steady wins this race, and the one tomorrow. I’m not going to fail myself today regardless of how today ends. I asked the Lord to help me eliminate the judgemental voices in my head, and He’s doing it. Through a combination of grace and gratitude, I’ve kept my cool. I love it. If this is my future I’m excited.

(Correspondingly, I do not feel the need to make this post a certain length. I love that too.)
