Something I think I will always struggle with is judgment.
I so identify with the story of the man being forgiven much then refusing to forgive a little.
I have a short memory, and for some reason, many of the hundreds and thousands of graces I’ve received don’t translate all the time into grace for others. It’s one of my worst traits that I wish would improve faster than it is.
Needless to say, I had to slow down a few times today when I was ready to be hasty and jump to conclusions. If I just slow down a tiny bit, frequently I can have a conversation instead of it moving too quickly to hostility. I did my best.
I spent the morning working on some designs for cards. I am working on using natural objects to create cards and specifically to send to clients. It was cool to finally start playing with things like that. I am excited for that opportunity to unfold.
I had time with some friends at lunch and late afternoon, everyone having issues to work through. Life is life and hard.
Making it.
I spent an hour or so cleaning and emptying garbage in the new office space. I don’t want to be ungrateful, but some basic things still aren’t working. I’m tired. I love the space, but these issues are preventing us from settling in fully.
It’ll happen, but it was a long Monday.
