I cannot believe how much love, support, understanding, great suggestions, and friendship is flooding my way. I feel fat and stupid and awkward after this crazy year. I know I'm doing the best I can, and all of the worst of this stuff will pass. But I still feel dreadful. And oddly hopeful

But what is reflected back through friendships and family: I'm smart, I'm capable, I'm beautiful, I'm resilient, I'm strong, I'll grow, I'll manage.

So here's to the wonder and grace brought by friendship. The last ten years have taught me so very much.
