Today I will be okay with all I don’t get around to doing.

If I don’t check off all the boxes, if I don’t eat the foods I should.

If I don’t avoid that nap or go for that walk or even open that package.

If I don’t listen to that voicemail and I don’t get to all the Adulting and just give in to rest — rest of mind, rest of body, rest of soul.

Today, I’ll choose to be okay with what I don’t do.

I’ll be grateful for what I do. As small as it may be, it’s valid. It counts.

And we are still worthy at the end of that day.
