...we measure the success of a day, on what we personally deem relevant. At least, that's how it shakes out for me. I got the lawns mowed and the driveway looks tidy. I was able to harvest something from my garden that was beautiful, or tasty or healing. The crust on my pie is actually flaky and delicious!
Sometimes it's more heart based, emotional... I got to talk to my kids...both of them! I made a connection where there was true exchange. That long cry helped in the end. I managed to find hope, in some very small way, for the future.
Sometimes it's about how the spirit has been energized... The gold in the trees is more intense this year! The pinging of the acorns falling delights and inspires me. That piece of artwork I completed is more satisfying than expected...and others appreciated too. My work has touched others. I...feel seen.
Sometimes it's not about one day...but other stretches of time. Sometimes it's only a moment. But more often than not, it isn't success by the standard definition , but rather a success of spirit and soul. And it will be different for all of us. And that too delights me.
This is the last day of 'RoidWeek 2020 and it's been a lovely one. We're almost to the end of October in this crazy, upsetting, uncertain year. We've made it this far!
