… something we have done well, honoring Will’s good heart isn’t yet my keystone habit (which, if you believe the self-help books, is the thing that makes all the unbearable must-do’s likely to-do’s). I have promised myself I’ll take up yoga and strengthen my core. I promised myself I’d eat better and be centered. I’ve accomplished humbleness and compassion and I can say that I’ve had moments of pure joy. I may have gained a few pounds, yes. But I’ll work on that. Until now I have led with my gut. I have trusted friends, old and new, to take care of me and my family. They haven’t let us fall. Nor will they.
