Today Was a Day

Today was a day to outrun the weather, a day to eat tacos and slip into bed in the afternoon with your beloved, to pull the shades down and listen to the rain on the skylight.

Today was a day to notice your own internal barometer and do your part to calm the bluster by not expecting perfection from yourself or others.

Today was a day to stop looking back, wondering where you could've done better, to plant your feet, to reclaim a little peace, to remember that our skin is a generous organ that covers, contains, and carries us.

Today was a day to remember ease, to roll with the unexpected changes, and to leave good enough alone instead of hovering over it wanting it to be anything other.

Today was a day for saying: Of all the things I ever wished were different, you have never been one of them.
