When I woke up this morning I thought, “Awww, I definitely didn’t get enough sleep.” I took a fast shower and got dressed thinking, “Pfff, I don’t do enough sports.” On my way to the office I quickly replied to a friend’s message wondering, “Uhh, did I pay enough attention; did I send enough love?” At night I come home from work fearing “I haven’t done enough.” And I could endlessly go on with this ridiculously painful list.

And tomorrow? …I will grow and connect.
