There are days that feel like entire weeks.

Today was one of those days.

As it ends, there are many things I cannot say, but what I can convey is profound gratitude for joy and community, integrity, hope, and a willingness to continue to stretch in ways that we may not have thought possible for ourselves.

I am grateful for the multitude of ways that community shows up for me and believes in me.

I am grateful for the ways I am beginning to show up for myself.

But now, I will rest.
