September 29

Whether you have felt that September has gone by quickly, slowly, or somewhere in between, what remains true is that there have been so many days you have made it through. May you never discredit how far you have come.

And remember this: remembering how far you have come doesn't mean you're ignoring the present moment; instead, it is an opportunity to move onward with gratitude. Gratitude for the progress you have been making, even in subtle ways, from one day to the next.

While taking a moment to pause might not fix everything, perhaps it can still become a reminder that amidst everything, you have still been on a journey—a journey where there is room to reflect, to heal, to learn, and to grow. All of the winding paths you've already made it through matter more than you know.

Take a moment to rest, however you can. You're worth it.

Remember how far you've come.
