A new day. A new chance to succeed.
I have some problems with the morning's reading about the difficulty in changing as an adult.
It likens adults to carvings in wood and stone, so yeah. I get it but those aren't good metaphors for life.

It takes the shape of whatever vessel it fills. It may not have the rigid longevity of stone but has the ability to adapt as circumstance changes.
I am not a statue, fixed early.
Immutable.
I hope you retain your flexibility #today
