This is what grace looks like: amazed gratitude and relief at your plain old gorgeous life. A willingness not to be good at things right away, to be clueless but committed; to make more messes and mistakes in the interest of living with spaciousness and a sense of presence; to find out who we truly are, who we were born to be, and to learn to love that screwed up, disappointing, heartbreakingly dear self of ours. - Anne Lamott

Held by Natalie Grant
It's 6am, I'm at work, in a lot of physical pain, and thinking "such awful thoughts that I cannot even say them out loud because they would make Jesus want to drink gin straight out of the cat dish." (Thanks, Brooke, for reminding me of this perfectly appropriate quote from St. Anne (Bird by Bird)). So rather than horrifying you with these awful thoughts, let's just sit here, I'll drink my Diet Coke, we'll cry along with Natalie Grant, and save the words for another day, okay?

Okay. You with your Diet Coke, me with my non artificially sweetened, caffeine-free blasted 'hot tea'. (Cheers)
