After three months of these daily entries, I am finding it more and more difficult to keep up. At first, this really bothered me—as if I had created an opportunity to fail somehow. Then I remembered the point of the project to begin with was to fall in love with my daily life. Truthfully, I have been so immersed into my days as of late, even as the activity and rush of our school schedule tapers, that tending to this space has become less important. So I didn’t fail. I succeeded.

I have appreciated the space to do this with a community, and there’s a good chance it is a practice I may revisit again. For now, I welcome the rest of Advent, a less-than-normal season, and whatever each of the days in this time gift my little family.
