Today I received a clean bill of health from the doctor. The women at the hospital were so incredibly kind to me.

Today was a reminder of what life is for.

Today I felt in touch with my authentic self.

Today I knew Grace.

Today I remembered to look upon myself with gentler eyes.

Today I remembered to follow peace.

I’d admitted mistakes, flaws, and mistreatment to myself and others, which, I’d hoped, had made me a better, more humble person.
