![Entering the last 85 days of this decade calm, cool, collected and low-key [jk, high-key] celebrating. .
.

I was speaking with a friend last night (we met in 2010 when we were both cashiers at a grocery store and stayed close ever since!) and chatting about how far we've come since then. We reminded ourselves about how we once prayed to be where we are now. Even though we might not be EXACTLY where we thought we would be, we've accomplished so much, learned so much, and grown so much that there's no where we would rather be than right here. .

She was telling me about how she has a prayer jar where she keeps her prayers then reads through them from time to time to remind herself about the prayers that have come through. I do a similar thing when I flip through my journals and old planners. .

It's easy to look at the last quarter of the year and try to scramble to accomplish ALL the things. But imagine if we just took a moment to appreciate and celebrate what we HAVE done?
