There is a saying in the monastic tradition about what they are doing all day long: "we fall down and we get up."

So thank you for reminding us that there is a getting up after falling down. And that our kids can lead the way :-)

I like that! I feel like that is how most days feel.

I loved this line: “but no, my desire for cozy feet wins every time” - I feel ya! 😁

I also loved the moment on the couch while your littles watched the movie and you ran a body scan, really just sitting with the bummed feeling. That is so brave and inspiring.

This was such a wonderful post, Kathryn! I felt bummed right alongside you and recovered with you too.
