“Accept the peaceful change that autumn encourages.”

This was passed onto me from another writer and I’ve been thinking about our changing selves. Today, at work, I took 3 minutes to make a quick playlist for my background music for my busy work and I stared at my selection. A little bit of everything – from country to r&b, from soundtracks to Susan Boyle – scattered my list.

And I thought how true that is. What we like, who are are, what we need, and what we need to hear changes from day to day. For me, this couldn’t be more true right now. Balancing a son, trying to be great life partner, a supportive minister, a truthful writer — I’m a little bit of everything, and that changes from day to day.

What I need to hear today is that I’m good. I’m enough. As I am, as whole and imperfect and striving as I am. I. am. enough.

Tomorrow, things will change. More leaves will fall. I may not see the sun rise as beautifully as it did this morning, but tomorrow, as it should be will be different.

A little bit of everything.
