I’m honoured that you found my piece helpful, Brianne. I’m glad you’re on the mend and that you’ve taken time to heal. I read a great quote (unattributed) “This, too, will pass. It may pass like a kidney stone, but it will pass.” It captures the messy middle, which is so often left out when we ‘gold plate grit’ as Brené Brown calls it.

Ha! I haven't heard that quote before, but I like it, too. Sometimes the season truly is awful and needs to be acknowledged in all its pain. And "gold plate grit" is a good one, too. I always learn something from you. :) Thank you for well wishes, too!
