What are things we can embrace?
The day
The Darkness
Each other
Our children
Nature
Life… Life. It’s been a lot lately. Just like so many others I know I’ve been trying so hard to slow it down, and it seems the more I try the faster it flies. When I take a step back and think about times I can successfully slow down I seem to often come back to this word… Embrace.
Sinking In
Have you ever had anyone hold you in an embrace for just a little longer than you were anticipating? Or maybe a lot longer. What usually happens? At first it may seem awkward, but then we sink in and realize it may have been just what we needed. That embrace.
Sinking into a physical embrace is much easier than trying to feel out the embrace we have on life (or maybe the embrace life has on us at the moment).
It is so simple to just move through the motions of life (sometimes it is a necessity), but what if we didn’t have to. What if we lived a life we are proud and excited to be a part of? Right, I know, easier said than done.
Our Best is Good Enough
I refuse to lose my embrace no matter what season I may be in.
On a day where I have unending tasks to complete, and even more goals in the back of my mind, I am also reminded that this is the only life we get. While that often seems more overwhelming than anything else I know that it all will pass, and instead of just pushing through I want to embrace, hold on, and enjoy.
Now, don’t get me wrong, the majority of time I do not have it together at all, and often life feels like it’s running in the other direction, but I rest in the fact that I’m not alone. It is ok to not have it all together!
Sometimes I serve my children homemade sourdough bread with raw milk grass fed butter, and other times they have pizza rolls. It all comes with grace and acceptance that we are all just trying to do our best. This blog holds me accountable while hopefully helping us all realize our best is good enough.
