Pithy quote from my commonplace book this week. It makes a lot more sense to me at this point in life. Change – in myself or others or my circumstances – has rarely come in the time or ways I've planned. Like another pithy quote from my virtual fitness coach, the key is often not finding yet another method or "trick" but to just keep showing up. So I keep hitting the healthy habits, even after I fall off track. We keep gathering together for meals, for holidays, for family events even if we wandered far separately. We keep showing up for prayer, even when we feel dry or discouraged. We trust the process.
While we move through this week of resolution making, I am mostly resolving to continue, patiently.

“The key is often not finding yet another method or “trick” but to just keep showing up.” This.
Merry Christmas and happy New Year!
