Video gif. A black dog lifts its front paws and wraps them around a white dog like he’s hugging him. The black dog presses his head against the white dog to get closer and the white dog doesn't seem to mind.

Oh, I don’t know if this strikes a chord, but sometimes it’s so easy to get caught up in not getting it all done today. I catch myself thinking I should pay off all the debt, lose all the weight, pack a month’s worth of fresh lunches (um how?), ALL today, and get 8hrs sleep and everything else on my to do list done. (And I’m not a parent!). When I don’t, that little voice of inadequacy can creep in. Guessing you can figure out how I used to drown that out… :face_with_peeking_eye:

Usually that soak in the bath and a good sleep do most of the trick. And I’m getting a whole lot better at actually throwing a few positive affirmations my way. Felt corny at first!

You know we think the world of you. How could we not? Today, you are enough. More than enough. You’ve done enough. Been enough. And you’re gonna tuck in sober. Onward, amazing Kelly. Hugs and love your way. :orange_heart:
