Speaking of evergreen that Lorde quote is everything to me (including the warfare part). Man, that Porges quote and image is so beautiful! Love this reminder and also the note about “good-enoughing.” Hope the bench brawl gets settled sooner than later; maybe everyone can go out for ice cream and duke it out over good enough sprinkles! Xoxo
Thanks, friend. I love the idea of a bench brawl being resolved by conciliatory ice cream with adequate sprinkles! Appreciate you reading and being here. Hope things are good enough with you today. 🍦🧁🫶
This is wonderful, Keith. And good, solid wisdom and of course, more than adequate! I am a baseball fan, and like the baseball analogy at the beginning. You’ve hit a home run here!
You're right, friend. These body tending words never get old, are never not timely - but especially now. Maybe we will always be prone, looking back, to say "especially now," but it sure feels true at this moment in time. I appreciate how simple these check-ins can be, even if they are not often easy. Even if they're not always accessible. There's at least something here that I can do adequately. And it's essential work, to do our best with the resources we have, to regulate ourselves in order that we don't cause more harm. You're an example to me of this ongoing work. Thank you, dear one. xx
I like to hope that this moment is singularly hard, but I suspect you're right, friend...there are probably more "especially now moments on the horizon." So grateful for these basic check-ins and also for friends like you to make the especially now times a little easier to navigate. Thanks for being. 🩵🩷🤍

Thanks so much, Larry. I always appreciate your insights! And I love "playing baseball" with you 😉⚾💜
Great reminders, Keith!!

The reminder or adequate/good enough is so important.
And I'm going to work on #3.
#3 has been a tough nut to crack for me, too.
Really timely post. I'm so grateful you shared it with us, Keith. Thank you.
Thanks, Robin. So glad to see you in here (and everywhere else, too!). 😍
