As I ponder turning the BIG 5 0 there is one word that keeps coming to mind. GRACE. It's an item in my personality kit, if you will, that I feel I lack.
Do those who have grace flip off the driver that cuts you off? Does someone that has grace swear the F-word while explaining the loss of a Red Sox game? I wonder!
When I think of GRACE I see a butterfly. To me they are so graceful in flight. They land softly on a flower to gather the nectar. With each flap of a wing their elegance is pure beauty.
But GRACE is not just movement. It's goodwill, generosity, and kindness. I'd like to think I try each day to be kind. To all humans and creatures alike. I'm also working on inner kindness. I think sometime we forget to give GRACE to ourselves. That it's not selfish to say "No" to others when you may need rest. It's okay to go to bed early. It's okay to put yourself first.
Thankfully I have time to practice earning GRACE to fill my kit. It's something I think I'll be working on for years to come. (the Red Sox can really get me mad.)
Cheers to REVIN UP!
