Things and moments can stick out, shard-like from life’s fabric, snagging and cutting and causing damage. I’m not saying this is happening right now, to me, but it’s happening right now somewhere, and I can see it. Accidents tear up communities. Unkind words gash at families. Bitter hurts fester, judgments cause rifts, thoughtlessness scabs over the tenderest hearts.
But.
Also.
Sometimes it’s just the opposite. Sometimes things and moments can stick out, featherlike. Delivering touches of softness and mercy and comfort. Some days are full of Enough. Enough time. Enough laughter. Enough to eat, and to share. Enough energy to do what’s required. Enough grace to see past the action back to the intention. Enough restraint. Enough patience. Enough forgiveness, for self and others. Enough beauty and loveliness that fills up the heart and spills over from the eyes.
I am grateful for the Enough.

Oh, I wish every day were an enough day. I think that’s what heaven will be made of.

Yesterday, I had a day of Enough. Enough sunshine. Enough happy. Enough memories made. It was a day sorely needed. That Enough is carrying me through.
You say it so perfectly, Becca.

It was so fun to see you at Storymakers. I really enjoyed your class – it inspired me to be more committed to this writing thing 🙂
