Things have felt differently lately. I think a kindness has awoken in me that has been dormant for a long time. It gives me confidence, this compassion, and I am grateful for it. I am learning how rewarding it is to be who you want to be. And how meek it makes you! I have many aspirations now, more than I probably ever have. All of them are small. The kind that you can reach out and grab; and if you can’t, you just have to wait a little while. They are not the thoughts of needed growth... for now, I have done enough of that. I haven’t given myself a chance to enjoy and explore the things I’ve grown. You have to eat the things in your garden!
