Resliance (Resistance)

Her year in particular has had to build an unparalleled amount of resilience. They have had to pivot, and turn, and make the best of things, and adjust expectations again and again and again. They have remade, and reshaped, and tried again. They have given up on dreams, and found new ones, and then found them again.

And here’s the thing. This is normal for them. They don’t know any other way. This is the only way they know. This is their strength.

My wife writes beautifully about our daughter’s age group and their ability to survive and thrive.

Here’s the adoption agency’s glamor shot of our new family member, Ernest Ducky Rhone. We’ve only had him for a couple of days but he’s already settled in. A happy little good boy who loves to play and snuggle. He’s sleeping right up next to me as I type this.

I have the concepts of a plan for today…

  • First: Coffee and Breakfast.
  • Next: finish client project.
  • After: Email triage (Crouching actions, hidden projects).

Blogging as a Gift | Jamie Thingelstad

I would encourage bloggers to not think about the individual post. Instead, think about the collection of writing, over weeks and years, as a body of work. It is a body of work that you are constantly adding to. Growing and improving. The individual post is but one breath. It comes and goes. But over the course of time this adds up. It is the cumulative action that creates something truly great.
