"How have we grown this past year?", I asked my partner. "Mostly in acceptance", he said. "You can share the prayer, you know the one."

"Growth" is the prompt for day 8 of Positively Present's #Gratitude30 challenge.

This year has been a year of quiet growth, of learning how to manage ourselves when people and circumstances go wonky, of working on setting our boundaries with those close to us, of accepting that some things are ours to work on and some are not (even if we think they are).

For me this year has been a lesson in patience and healing, in connecting further with cycles of growth and renewal.

How have you grown this year? Take time today to feel gratitude for each experience of growth.
