I’m doing my best...

Ball
whizzed
entire
length
of
side
yard

Launched
by
muscled
arm

Black
streak
whizzed
at
similar
velocity

And
shocked
me!

Because
she
returned
ball
to
thrower

Celebrate the little joys!
Henrietta played fetch yesterday.
I watched in amazement as she retrieved a tennis ball upwards of ten times before performing her signature move of sliding cheek first into the grass.
The retriever retrieves!

If you haven’t guessed….this is a new skill for Henri.
Usually when we throw a ball she’ll go pick it up and plop down, or run in another direction. We don’t know if she’s confused, or being intentionally uncooperative.
She’s often distracted by birds, bees and butterflies.

But yesterday….Game On!

I recently shared a call with a new friend from The Creative’s Workshop.

His creative endeavor is learning with others about Healthy Human Nature. He stopped me in my tracks when his reply to my How are you? was……

I’m doing my best.

In the The Art of Possibility, authors Roseamund Stone Zander and Ben Zander explore the idea of giving everyone an “A”
immediately
…including yourself.

When retiring Justice Thurgood Marshall was asked what accomplishment he was most proud of he replied, “That I did the best I could with what I had.”

What does
“I am doing my best,”
shift for you?
