There is nothing quite like a mammogram to remind you that your body is but a vessel. :)
...and so began my day...
After a long day of doctor's appointments...all good news. I am a grateful girl.
On my way home, I met a friend to go over some business. At the end, he said the darnedest thing that I cannot get out of my head. He commented that Wesley had brought a "softness" to me.
A softness, huh... :)
That really struck me, and in nothing but a good way.

"Softness" by HR |
I am not sure if it was the word that struck me or how he used it. Frankly, I thought about his statement most of my drive home.
Have you ever thought about the meaning of that word? Google it...there are quite a few. Let me just focus on the one that states "of a gentle disposition; tender." Yep, that is me. :)
...give me a minute...still laughing...
I love that someone sees that in me. I love that they give all of the credit to Wesley for it. I love that one word inspired me to saunter home instead of race. I love that sauntering (because that sounds so much better than being slow) gave me the opportunity to have a conversation with a distressed man in McDonald's at Clinton. I love that it gave me opportunities to take some beautiful sunset shots during the drive. I love that it inspired me to find a new song. I love that is made me pull over, take a message from the office and re-do an entire day because all of the above made me realize my focus was off, and I needed to re-direct my energies tomorrow (and re-direct the energy of my team).
All of that started with one word...softness.
*ahhhh*
Exhale.
Breathe. Just breathe.
Let this inspire you to find the softness in your life today...to be the softness in your life today. It is a rough and tumble world out there, and (as always) you have a choice on how you meet the world each day. You can meet it on its turf or yours.
