Thanksgiving Reflection

Uncertainty is fundamental openendedness.
— Pema Chodron

This year feels different. There's a calm, a peace, in the way I relate to myself, my family members, and my experience.

I'm on the brink of major change, difficult territory for a recovering perfectionist like myself. But I continue to put one foot in front of the other with some semblance of grace.  

This I know: uncertainty is here and here to stay.

While I've appreciated that concept for quite some time, I wasn't ready to live it - to embrace uncertainty as a permanent reality of the human experience. Now I am baby-stepping my way toward walking the walk. One small, wobbly step at a time.
